Upon gaining control of Congress in the elections of November 1994, the
new Republican majority in Congress embarked on an aggressive campaign to
fulfill its Contract With American. Among its priorities was regulatory
reform. Included in regulatory reform were measures to protect property
owners, under certain circumstances, from losses in property values resulting
from the imposition of environmental regulations. Although passed by the
House of Representatives in 1995, the Senate had not yet acted on the measures
a year later. Private property rights protection legislation passed by the
1995 Florida Legislature was signed into law in May 1995. The manner of its
implementation and the nature of its impacts remain to be seen.

Market: The Economic Implications for Management. Masters of Science

The U.S. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fishery under pressure from the
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) and the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has been confronted with substantial
quota reductions in recent years. Effort reduction strategies used to sustain
these quota cuts combined with increased participation have created market
gluts and decreased the length of the season. Apparent implications of these
problems have decreased the price received by U.S. fishermen for Atlantic
bluefin tuna. Optimal management of the Atlantic bluefin tuna requires these
market implications be considered. This research econometrically examines
factors that influence ex-vessel price, focusing on changes in quantity
supplied, quality characteristics, gear types used, and spatial and temporal
harvests. Results of this research indicate gains in gross revenues to the
U.S. Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery are possible through reduction in excessive
daily production and shifts in temporal harvests into later periods of the
season.

When Fitting Theoretical Models to Data." Journal of the American
Statistical Association, 79(386):321-328.
Power transformations in nonlinear regression problems are investigated
when there is a physical model for the response but little understanding of
the underlying error structure. In such circumstances, and unlike the
ordinary power transformation model, both the response and the model must be
transformed simultaneously and in the same way. We show by asymptotic theory
and a small Monte Carlo study that for estimating the model parameters there
is little cost for not knowing the correct transform a priori; this is in
dramatic contrast to the results for the usual case where only the response is
transformed. Possible applications of the theory are illustrated by examples.
