housing market data to measure the willingness to pay for clean air. With the
use of a hedonic housing price model and data for the boston metropolitan
area, quantitative estimates of the willingness to pay for air quality
improvements are generated. Marginal air pollution damages as revealed in the
housing market are found to increase with the level of air pollution and with
household income. The results are relatively sensitive to the specification
of the hedonic housing price equation, but insensitive to the specification of
the air quality demand equation.
Hartley, Michael J. (1976). "The Tobit and Probit Models: Maximum
Likelihood Estimation by Ordinary Least Squares." Discussion
Paper Number 374, Economic Research Group, Department of
Economics, State University of New York at Buffalo.
This paper proposes an alternative method for the calculation of the
Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) for the Tobit and Probit models, that
resolves the difficulties with the convergence of the Gauss-Newton algorithm,
has the virtue that it is computationally much simpler, and affords a unified
interpretation of each of these models from the perspective of incomplete data
regression models.
Hartwick, John M. (1978). "Exploitation of Many Deposits of an
Exhaustible Resource." Econometrica, 46(1):201-217.
Given a known demand schedule for a mineral at each instant of time and
many deposits with different known extraction costs per ton (different
qualities) and different known sizes, how should exploitation be organized?
How does an exogenous change in the size of deposit i or in the extraction
costs per unit in deposit i affect the program of exploitation? These
questions are investigated for the case of extraction costs constant per ton
for deposit i. The comparative static analysis parallels that for a problem
with many income classes in location theory.
Harvey, David J. (1992). "Farmed-Raised Shrimp:Impacts on U.S. Seafood
Trade." Aquaculture, Situation and Outlook Report, Department of
Agriculture, Economic Research Service, Aqua-8, March, 7 pp.
Improvements in techniques for producing farm raised shrimp in the
1980's greatly increased total supplies, which caused real prices for both
domestic landings and imports to fall. With real import prices declining 25
percent between 1986 and 1990, U.S. imports increased dramatically, especially
from countries with expanding farm raised shrimp production. The effect of
these trends has been to increase U.S. shrimp supplies over 73 percent and to
make shrimp imports the largest component of the trade deficit in seafood.
Hashim, Ali and Jonathan Cook (1994). "Resource Rent in the Fisheries
Sector." Draft, EPCS Economics Paper No. 2, Fisheries Economics
and Statistics Program, Third Fisheries Project, Economic Planning
And Coordination Section, Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture,
Male, Republic of Maldives, April.
This study analyses the capacity of the major sectors of the Maldivian
fishing industry to pay resource rent to the government in relation to its
access to the country's fish resources. A major objective of the study is to
provide input to a second study being undertaken under the project; Study 4
that analyses the fiscal alternatives open to the government. The ability of
the fishing industry to meet an increased proportion of the national budget is
a direct function of the profitability of the industry that is analyzed in
some detail in this report.
