can be made costlessly. However, with the presence of uncertainty, it is well
known that one instrument or another may produce a higher expected present
value of net social benefits than the others. How uncertainty affects the
choice of instrument specifically in fishery management and in other dynamic
optimization settings is less well known. A combination discrete time and
continuous time stochastic model of a dynamic fishery is used to compare the
relative performance of a per unit tax and quota in this paper. The analysis
confirms the conclusion reached in the general literature on optimal
instrument choice under uncertainty: which instrument performs most
efficiently depends on the specific fishery being regulated.
Anderson, Eric E. (1988). "Relative Efficiency of Charges and Quantity
Controls in Fisheries with Continuous Stock Growth and
Periodically Fixed Instrument Levels." Marine Resource Economics,
5(3):215-230.
This article presents a simple combination discrete time/ continuous
time model that incorporates continuous population dynamics and fishing
activity together with periodic, rather than continuous, instrument adjustment
into the decision process for choosing the optimal type and level of
regulatory instrument. A per unit tax and an allocated instantaneous harvest
rate quota each drive the system along different time paths, and each results
in a different present value of the stream of net benefits generated by
harvesting the resource. The choice of instruments is fishery specific; it
depends on the parameter values of the fishery in question.

Costs." Canadian Public Policy - Analyze De Politiques, 3:336-
347.
The paper concludes that the Ontario program to expand reforestation in
the province with a view to ensuring expanded timber supplies in the 21 st
century does not meet the test of viability provided by tools of conventional
benefit cost analysis. A more selective approach, possibly oriented to
survival of particular communities, should be examined as an alternative.

Development Rights Programs: Landowner Incentives and Design
Issues." Draft Report, Department of Resource Economics,

This paper examines landowner incentives to supply development rights
under transfer of development rights (TDR), identify a number of potential
obstacles to the success of voluntary TDR and propose design options for
enhancing participation.
