Using microeconomic principles, it can be shown that if the trustee
government selects resource management policies that create incentives counter
to efficient production or impose wasteful procedures on the private lease
operator, the cost of these policies is paid out of economic rent and is borne
by the public in the form of reduced living standards. The goal of resource
conservation is not served.

Historical and Legal Framework of Outer Continental Shelf
Leasing." Chapter 1 in Offshore Lands: Oil and Gas Leasing and
Conservation on the Outer Continental Shelf. San Francisco,

The legal framework of Outer Continental shelf leasing is reviewed and
the history of offshore leasing from the first state of Louisiana offshore
leases in the 1940's to the present are traced.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of Bonus Bidding for Issuing OCS Oil
and Gas Leases." Chapter 3 in Offshore Lands: Oil and Gas Leasing
and Conservation on the Outer Continental Shelf. San Francisco,
Pacific Institute for Public Policy Research.
This chapter contains a theoretical and empirical investigation of the
traditional method of issuing federal OCS leases, cash bonus bidding with a
fixed royalty. This method of leasing has been criticized for restricting
competition and failing to return the fair market value of public lease rights
to the government. Results of our empirical analysis of the traditional bonus
bid leasing system are reported, based on 1,223 federal Gulf of Mexico leases
issued from 1954 through 1969, with a record of oil and gas production
extending through 1979. This empirical research was designed to answer the
questions raised by critics of bonus bid leasing: Are the results the outcome
of competitive market process? Did the government get fair value for its
lease rights?

Australian Fisheries, 36(11):8-19.
Because a given management strategy has proved successful in a single
method fishery, it should not be assumed that it is appropriate for a multipurpose
fishery, that is much more complex. For a multi-purpose fishery to be
managed to its best advantage its special characteristics must be recognized
and a scheme developed that makes due allowance for the strengths and
weaknesses of these characteristics.

Limited entry was first introduced into the rock lobster and prawn
fisheries in 1963. Both fisheries have been characterized by rapidly rising
prices for species caught. Although some sectors of the rock lobster fishery
