Abstract The evidence for nonnormality of crop yields is reassessed. Three methodological
problems are identified in typical yield distribution analyses:(i) misspecification of the
nonrandom components of yield distributions,(ii) missreporting of statistical significance, ...

A Cournot model of investment is used to characterize the pre-and post-buyback investment

Abstract Delayed fishing fleet restructuring complicates the assessment of efficiency gains

Static analysis shows that individual transferable quotas (ITQs) can dramatically increase
economic efficiency comparable to a limited entry (LE) management by releasing excess
capital. However, the transition from LE to ITQ management presents further efficiency ...

We develop a dynamic model of a fishery which simultaneously incorporates random stock
growth and costly capital adjustment. Numerical techniques are used to solve for the
resource-rent-maximizing harvest and capital investment policies. Capital rigidities bring ...

Controlled access management in the northern Gulf of Mexico commercial reef fish fishery
has not achieved key management objectives. We estimate the economic benefits of

Using data from the Mid-Atlantic surf clam and ocean quahog fishery, we find that firms with
a preference for extreme, rather than moderate, policies are much more likely to participate

Abstract We study firm dynamics, firm value, equilibrium permit prices and market efficiency
in a natural resource industry that is managed with tradable output permits. New firms must
purchase capital and output permits before they enter. Active firms must consider the ...

Abstract Declining salmon prices, due primarily to expansion of farmed salmon production,
have reduced revenues for Alaska's wild salmon fisheries by roughly 62 percent over the
past 10 years. One possibility for reversing this trend is to differentiate wild and farmed ...
