It is widely believed that exhaustible resource monopolies do not enjoy
as much market power as standard non-resource monopolies, and may even produce
in a socially optimal way. We argue that this paradoxical result arises from
an inappropriate comparison methodology. When similar assumptions are applied
to the resource and the conventional case, we show that the resource monopoly
behaves as expected; i.e. restricts supply.

Data from the National Marine Fisheries Service s Capital Construction
Fund are summarized to provide a financial profile of Northeast U.S.
commercial fishing vessels. Averages for various cost categories are
presented by tonnage class, fishery, and effort level. Costs are also
presented as percentages of total revenue. Data are then evaluated for how
well they represent the Northeast fishing fleet. Potential uses and pitfalls
of using these data for economic analyses are also discussed.

in the Northeast U.S. Striped Bass: A Case Study. Presented at EIFAC

Fisheries, Dublin, Ireland, June, 23 pp.
As fishery resources in the northeastern U.S. decline, allocation of
resources between commercial and recreational fishermen is becoming
increasingly contentious. To estimate the value of recreational fishing in
the northeast, approximately 8,000 anglers from Maine to Virginia were
administered a two-part survey (at the fishing site, and in a follow-up phone
interview) in 1994 in conjunction with the U.S. s Marine Recreational
Fisheries Statistical Survey. Using striped bass as a case study, contingent
valuation, travel cost and random utility models are estimated, and the
impacts of changes in bag limits and catch rates are analyzed for management
purposes. The study illustrates the simplicity and utility of adding a
