Maindiratta, the lower bound is obtained from a primal approach while the
upper bound corresponds to a dual approach to nonparametric production
analysis. These nonparametric bounds are then used to estimate input-based
and output-based distance functions. These radial series data on U.S.
agriculture indicates a large gap between the primal lower bound and the dual
upper bound. This generates striking differences between the primal and dual
nonparametric productivity indexes.

Instability: The Optimal Management of a Biological Population.
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 20(2): 231-46.
Assuming a competitive market, conditions are determined for when a
steady state equilibrium does not exist in the optimal dynamic management of a
biological population. Irregular and unpredictable behavior (called chaos )
can arise from rational economic decision making. High interest rate,
adjustment costs, and an inelastic demand can contribute to market
instability.

The primary objective of this research is to provide quantitative
information, notably own-price, income, and household size elasticity
measures, about consumer behavior relating to specific fish and shellfish
products.

Household expenditures for at home consumption on three species of
shellfish and five species of finfish were analyzed. Factors explaining the
variation of expenditures on seafood commodities were own price, household
income, coupon value, household size, geographic region, urbanization, race,
and seasonality. Own-price elasticities ranged from -0.45 (flounder/sole) to
-1.13 (oysters). Expenditures on fishery products were more sensitive to
changes in household size than to changes in household income. Cross-price
effects of red meat and poultry were not statistically significant. For
comparison purposes, estimates of own price, income, and household size
elasticities from the literature were made with this set of elasticities.

Surface seawater temperature imagery from the Advanced Very High
Resolution Radiometry (AVHRR) sensor of the U.S.A.'s NOAA-11 polar orbiting
satellite is being used to reduce the impact of commercial trawl fishing on
populations of threatened and endangered sea turtles off the east coast of the
U.S.A. During late autumn and early winter, southerly migrating summer
flounder (Paralichthys dentatus)and sea turtles co-occur on the narrow
continental shelf in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. All five
sea turtle species found in this area are protected under the Endangered
