McKenzie, George W. (1979). "Consumer's Surplus Without Apology:
Comment." American Economic Review, 69(3):465-468.
Two main problems with Robert Willig's criteria for determining when
consumer surplus reasonably approximates the equivalent and compensating
variations are examined: (a) it cannot be easily generalized to cases where
the prices of several commodities vary; (b) it is valid only when price and
income changes are relatively small. Secondly, numerical examples are used to
illustrate that the magnitudes of error involved may be far from negligible.
Finally this procedure is contrasted with the Pearce and McKenzie approach
that enables an exact not an approximate money metric welfare indicator to be
constructed on the basis of observable information.
McKinney, David A. (1991). "The Individual Transferable Fishing Quota
Management System, A Review of Recent Programs from an Enforcement
Perspective." Report prepared for the National Marine Fisheries
Service, Office of Law Enforcement, Special Agents in Charge,
August 1, 32 pp.
The individual transferable quota and similar fisheries programs are
relatively new concepts in resource management. In an ITQ program each
qualified fisherman is given the right to harvest a select portion of the
total allowable catch. This paper provides an overview of select ITQ fishing
systems and proposed systems currently underway in five different countries
including the United States. Since there already exists ample biological
resource data on the various systems, this paper emphasizes international
fishing quota programs from an enforcement perspective.
McKinney, David A. (1993). "Enforcement Methodology of Federal
Individual Quota Fisheries." Paper presented at the Workshop on
Enforcement Measures, Organization for Economic Co-Operation and
Development, Directorate for Food, Agriculture, and Fisheries,
Committee for Fisheries, Paris, September 21-22.
Although conceptual and framework differences exist, individual quota
fisheries are no more dependent upon enforcement than their traditional
counterparts. The crucial difference is the enforcement strategy within each
system. The key to an economically feasible enforcement effort is a properly
designed individual quota fishery. This paper defines the unique role of
enforcement in Federal individual quota fisheries and discusses the strategies
and tactics necessary in achieving acceptable levels of compliance.
McLaren, Keith R. (1982). "Estimation of Translog Demand Systems."
Australian Economic Papers, December:392-406.
It is argued that the estimation and testing procedure of the
transcendental logarithmic direct and indirect utility functions should be
further modified in two respects, by relating approximations used to the
sample data and by reexamining which variables are endogenous and which
exogenous.
