Gautam, Amy Buss and Ivar Strand (1995). Leisure/Labor Tradeoffs: The
Backward-Bending Labor Supply in Fisheries. Journal of Environmental
Economics and Management, draft, 23 pp.
Economists have understood that the open access nature of fishing
grounds can cause the long run fishery supply to bend backward. There is also
increasing speculation that fishermen respond to falling output price either
by increasing or decreasing effort, depending on the circumstances. This
suggests a short run backward bending supply of fishing labor. A dynamic
model of fishermen s behavior is developed to account for the behavior. The
model highlights both contemporaneous and intertemporal trade offs between
labor and leisure. The model is tested and the results indicate that the
short run labor supply in fisheries may exhibit backward bending properties.
A discussion explains by these results challenge many traditional regulatory
strategies (e.g. output taxes) that address problems of open access.

grounds can cause the long run fishery supply to bend backward. There is also
increasing speculation that fishermen respond to falling output price either
by increasing or decreasing effort, depending on the circumstances. This
suggests a short run backward bending supply of fishing labor. A dynamic,
utility-theoretic model of fishermen s behavior is developed to address this
possibility. The model highlights both contemporaneous and intertemporal
trade offs between labor and leisure. The model is tested and the results

Gauvin, John (1990). "Estimation of Supply and Demand Functions for
Broadbill Swordfish in the United States." Draft report, South
Atlantic Fishery Management Council, Charleston, South Carolina,
January, 14 pp.
Using a two stage least squares simultaneous equation model, an analysis
of swordfish supply and demand in the United States is presented. The
estimated model is used to determine the impacts of proposed management
regulations for consumer and producer surplus measures is discussed.
