(1989). "A Dynamic Model of Adaptation to Resource Depletion:
Theory and an Application to Groundwater Mining." Journal of
Environmental Economics and Management,17:66-82.
This research develops an optimal control model that incorporates the
opportunity for adaptation to resource depletion. In the context of
groundwater mining for agricultural production, two traits supplement a
conventional intertemporal depletion path: the relative allocation of
groundwater among irrigated crops and endogenous switch times describing an
intertemporal cropping pattern. Both planning and common property equilibria
are derived. Results from an application to the Texas High Plains include:
transition away from irrigation of sorghum occurs twice as fast when done
optimally and benefit to groundwater management ranges between $0.36 to $4.16
million as the interest rate varies from five to two percent.
Kim, Dae K. (1983). "Energy Substitution in the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp
Fishery." Southern Journal of Agricultural Economics, December:1-
6.
The elasticities of substitution among fuel, capital, and labor are
estimated for the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp fishery using a translog cost function
fit to observed data.
Kim, Jae-On and Charles W. Mueller (1978). Introduction to Factor
Analysis. Sage University Papers, Quantitative Applications in
Social Sciences, Series/Number. 07-013, Sage Publications, Beverly
Hills.
This is an elementary introduction that stresses the fundamental
assumptions and logical foundations of factor analysis.
Kim, Jae-On and Charles W. Mueller (1978). Factor Analysis, Statistical
Methods and Practical Issues. Sage University Papers,
Quantitative Applications in Social Sciences, Series/Number. 07-
014, Sage Publications, Beverly Hills.
The authors examine in greater detail the different types of factor
analysis and the situations in which each is most useful. The distinction
between confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis is discussed in greater
depth than in the Introduction to Factor Analysis as are the various criteria
for factor rotation.
King, Dennis M. (1989). "Economic Trends Affecting Commercial Billfish
Fisheries." In Richard H. Stroud (ed.) Planning The Future of
Billfish, National Coalition for Marine Conservation, Savannah,
Georgia.
A discussion of the fundamental market factors that affect billfish
demand, supply, and prices and how these factors have changed in recent years
to create increased fishing pressure on billfish stocks.
King, Dennis M. (1991). "Costing Out Restoration." Restoration and
Management Notes, 9(1):15-21.
The transition of restoration from a science, craft, and labor of love
to a business raises questions about ecological values and economic costs. An
environmental economist summarizes some problems and offers a framework for
evaluating the costs and expected results of restoration projects.
