conjectural variation regarding what one exploiter thinks will be the effect
of his exploitation on the exploitation efforts of others. The resulting
analysis indicates that the degree of over- or underexploitation of the
commons depends on the particular conjecture and the underlying technology.
For a representative commons model we show that consistent conjectures, those
that conform with reality, cannot characterize standard Nash equilibria.
Additionally, non-Nash behavior is shown to be inconsistent in all but one
case, a case corresponding to zero profits even in the instance of a finite
number of firms.

Efficiency Measurement. Chapter 32 in The Econometrics of Panel Data:

This chapter concentrates on the estimation of production frontiers and
the measurement of technical inefficiency relative to them.
Costanza, Robert and Stephen C. Farber (1986). "The Economic Valuation
and Management of Wetlands." Presented at the National Wetland
Symposium on Mitigation of Impacts and Losses, October 8-10,
International Hotel, New Orleans, LA.
A willingness-to-pay and energy analysis valuation techniques were used
to estimate the value of an acre of Louisiana wetlands. It seems clear that
no amount of effort will produce very precise estimates of wetland values and
we suspect this is also the case for several other classes of natural
resources. One school of thought holds that until precise estimates of
wetland values are available we should not attempt to evaluate these resources
at all, or should use only the market price. A second school holds that
wetlands are priceless, their real value can never be even imprecisely
quantified and we should therefore spare no expense in preserving them. We
contend that there are rational methods for dealing with this imprecision and
uncertainty without taking either of these extreme positions. We elaborate a
Wetlands Trust Fund system that would solve most of the problems.

Cox, D.R. (1970). The Analysis of Binary Data, Chapman and Hall, London.
This monograph concerns the analysis of binary or quantal data, i.e.
data in which an observation takes one of two possible forms, e.g. success or
failure. The central problem is to study how the probability of success
depends on explanatory variables and groupings of the material.
Coxhead, Ian and Sisira Jayasuriya (1995). Trade and Tax Policy Reform and
the Environment: The Economics of Soil Erosion in Developing Countries.
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 77(3):631-644.
The widespread view that trade reform is bad for the environment has
rarely been subjected to close scrutiny. In a developing country model we
trace general equilibrium impacts of tax and tariff policy changes on upland
resource allocation and, by implication, on the rate of erosion. Our analysis
