Isaac, R. Mark (1987). "The Value of Information in Resource
Exploration: The Interaction of Strategic Plays and Institutional
Rules." Journal of Environmental Economics and Management,
14:313-322.
Several characteristics of information used in resource exploration have
led to conjectures that the private market will provide a suboptimal amount of
such information. A public information provision has been proposed as a
remedy, both for problems of underproduction and overproduction of private
information. This paper demonstrates that, barring exceptional conditions,
public provision of information cannot be guaranteed to be a generic solution
to the private information overprovision problem. In fact, an example is
developed to demonstrate the possibility that public information exacerbates
the private overprovision problem.
Isaakson, K.G., W.I. Grant, and W.L. Griffin (1982). "General
Bioeconomic Fisheries Simulation Model: A Detailed Model
Documentation." Journal of the International Society of
Ecological Modeling, 4(1-2):61-85.
A general bioeconomic fisheries simulation model (GBFSM) designed for
use in annual-crop marine fisheries management programs is described. The
purpose of the model is to predict the effects of alternative management
policies on a fishery. Effects are assessed in terms of total harvest;
species, size class, and seasonal distributions of the harvest; total revenue,
fishing costs, and rent in the fishery; and the distribution of revenue,
costs, and rent among different classes of fishing vessels. A variable number
of species, size-classes, fishing areas, depths, and vessel classes can be
represented in the model at the user's discretion. The model can be
deterministic or can have stochastic components.
