Abstract

Assessing the economic damages and their temporal dimension caused by oil spills is very important. In the present paper, we analyze the stigma effect caused in fish markets, in the North West coast of Spain (Galicia) after the Prestige oil spill. Specifically, we focus on pelagic fish species which represent a relevant market share in Galicia. The results show that printed media surrounding the accident had a statistically significant role in the evolution of fish prices. Two types of stigma were found: temporal and geographical stigma. Our results conclude that there is persistence of environmental effects after the spill
La evaluación y dimensión temporal de los daños económicos provocados por vertidos de petróleo es muy importante. En este trabajo, se analiza el efecto del estigma en los mercados de pescado en la costa Noroeste de España (Galicia) tras el vertido del buque Prestige. Este trabajo se centra en las especies de peces pelágicos, que representan una importante cuota de mercado. Los resultados muestran que las noticias publicadas han tenido un papel estadísticamente significativo en la evolución de los precios. Hemos encontrado dos tipos de estigma: temporal y geográfico. Esto evidencia la persistencia de los efectos medioambientales después del vertido
