Number of Participating Consumers

Figure 2 . Number of consumers participating under each policy option . The

bars represent standard deviation . Means that do not share a letter are significantly different . illustrates the means and standard deviations of the number of consumers participating under each policy option . The number of consumers was significant ( F ( 4,4995 ) = 9.52 , p < 0.001 ) across the five different policies . In the figure , means that do not share a letter are significantly different , as calculated by post-hoc analysis . There was a small ( d = 0.23 ) difference between Policy 1 ( No Management ) and Policy 2 ( Supply & Demand ). There was also a small ( d = −0.22 ) difference between Policy 2 and Policy 5 ( Size & Price ).

Number of Participating Producers

Figure 3 illustrates the means and standard deviations of the number of producers participating under each policy option . The number of producers was significant ( F ( 4,4995 ) = 9.52 , p < 0.001 ) across the five different policies . In the figure , means that do not share a letter are significantly different , as calculated by post-hoc analysis . There was a medium ( d = 0.52 ) difference between Policy 1 ( No Management ) and Policy 2 ( Supply & Demand ), and a small ( d = 0.37 ) difference between Policy 1 and Policy 4 ( Price ). There was a small ( d = −0.36 ) difference between Policy 2 and Policy 3 ( Size ), and a small ( d = −0.45 ) difference between the Policy 2 and Policy 5 ( Size & Price ). Likewise , there was a small ( d = −0.21 ) difference between Policies 3 and 4 . Finally , there was a small ( d = −0.30 ) difference between Policies 4 and 5 .
