is used). This is also true with a pure monopoly, but monopoly retards
technical progress relative to the efficient level. Competition for patents
rights to a new technology results in excessively rapid technical progress if
the resource endowment of the economy is sufficiently large. Also,
competition may lead to sleeping patents, where invention strictly precedes
the date of innovation.
David, Elizabeth L. (1971). "Public Perceptions of Water Quality."
Water Resources Research, 7(3):453-457.
Water pollution is perceived by the general public to be of increasing
concern as a major problem facing the state. From a survey of a
representative sample of adults in Wisconsin, it was shown that the public has
rather definite ideas about what constitutes a description of pollution. The
respondents mentioned algae and murky, dark water but did not often mention
attributes such as chemicals or disease germs that are not detected by the
human sensory system. When the respondents were asked to name water in the
state that they felt was polluted, they named waters that in fact have the
characteristics they described when defining pollution. The most widely used
indicators of water pollution seem insufficient in light of the public
definition of, and concern about, water pollution.

Four EC Countries. Onderzoekverslag 110, Department Fishery,

LS, The Hague, The Netherlands, June.
This report contains a harmonized presentation and calculation of costs
and earnings of fishing vessels in the Netherlands, Denmark, France, and the
United Kingdom. This harmonization will facilitate the development of
sectoral fleet models. Current costs and earnings investigations in the four
countries show big differences in calculation of the bottom line figure.
Uniformity in collecting and calculating costs and earnings is important in
view of the construction off economic fleet models. This uniformity was one
to the main aims of the study.
Davis, Gary E. (1980). "Juvenile Spiny Lobster Management or How to
Make the Most of What You Get." Fisheries, 5(4):57-59.
Larval production and survival, equitable allocation and efficient
harvest among fishermen and maximization of yield per postlarval recruit are
identified as three major elements amenable to management actions in spiny
lobster fisheries. Minimum harvestable lobster size, habitat protection and
enhancement, trap escape vents, and nursery sanctuaries are some of the means
of improving yield per postlarval recruit.
Davis, Gary E. (1989). "Designated Harvest Refugia: The Next Stage of
Marine Fishery Management in California." CalCOFI Rep., 30:53-58.
Marine fishery management has traditionally been based on the biology
and population dynamics of individual target species. Management controls are
generally exercised through limits on individual fish sizes, seasons of
harvest, catch limits, and restrictions on gear efficiency designed to protect
reproductive stocks. Distance from port and depth provided de facto refugia
from harvest during the first century of modern exploitation, but recently few
California nearshore demersal fisheries have been able to sustain high yields
using traditional species specific management strategies.
Designated harvest refugia, or fisheries reserves, should now be
