Fagnan, Sheila (1990). "Halibut Individual Quotas: A Benefit Cost
Analysis." Internal DFO Report, Fishing Resource Analysis Unit,
Program Planning and Economics Branch, fisheries and Oceans -
Pacific Region, August.
A cost benefit analysis of the proposed adoption of the IVQ management
system including transferability after the two year pilot program is presented
in this report. The move to a nontransferable IVQ based management system is
predicted to provide net benefits totaling $140 million (ranging from $75 to
$210 million) while even greater benefits are expected when quota becomes
transferable.

This paper attempts to derive bounds on the optimal distribution of
income under a particular set of value judgements.

The South Carolina Shrimp Fishery. South Carolina Wildlife and Marine
Resources Department, Division of Marine Resources, Office of
Conservation and Management, Educational Report Number 8, July, 49 pp.
This report provides a broad perspective of the current shrimp
management program of the Division of Marine Resources. The report describes
the South Carolina fishery, the life cycle of shrimp, and the management
program.
Fare, Rolf (1984). The Existence of Plant Capacity. International Economic
Review, 25(1):209-213.
This paper characterizes two definitions of plant capacity. The weaker
notion requires that when some factors are bounded and the others variable,
the least upper bound of the output rate is finite. The stronger notion
requires in addition that the supremum is attained.

A dual representation of a technology, e.g., a cost function, may not
contain all of the technological information, but it will contain all of the
information about input vectors that would be chosen by a cost minimizing
firm. At least this much is clear for deterministic technologies. The main
question addressed in this paper is whether the same can be said about
stochastic technologies and their dual representations. Despite some
pessimism expressed in the stochastic frontier literature on this question, we
argue that there is no extra cost imposed in the stochastic case. Thus, the
conclusion of this paper is: JUST DUAL IT!
