Marketable Air-Pollution Permits: The Case for a System of
Pollution Offsets." Journal of Environmental Economics and
Management, 10:233-247.
After examining the properties of several alternative forms of
marketable permit systems for the control of air pollution, this paper
proposes a system of pollution offsets as the most promising approach. Under
the pollution offset scheme, sources of emissions are free to trade emission
permits subject to the constraint of no violations of the predetermined air
quality standard at any receptor point. The paper shows that the pollution
offset system has the capacity to achieve the predetermined standards of air
quality at the minimum aggregate abatement cost, while making comparatively
modest demands both on the sources and on the administering agency.

Kumbhakar, Subal C. and Mickael Lothgren (1998). A Monte Carlo Analysis of
Technical Inefficiency Predictors. Working P)aper Series in Economics
and Finance, No. 229, Stockholm School of Economics.
This paper studies performance of both point and interval predictors of
technical inefficiency in the stochastic production frontier model using a
Monte Carlo experiment. In point prediction we use the Jondrow et al. (1980)
results, while for interval prediction the Horrace and Schmidt (1996) and
Hjalmarsson et al. (1996) results are used. When ML estimators are used we
find negative bias in point predictions. MSEs are found to decline as the
sample size increases. The mean empirical coverage accuracy of the confidence
int3rvals are found to be significantly below the corresponding theoretical
confidence levels for all values of the variance ratio.

Overcapitalization and excess/over capacity are issues that engage the
minds of fishery managers the world over. In the artisanal, small-scale
fisheries of tropical water developing countries, overcapitalization is a new
phenomenon, overcapacity is not.
