Asian Pacific Economics Cooperation (1997). Inventory of Fisheries
Administrations and Organizations in APEC Member. Fisheries Working
Group, Singapore.
This inventory provides basic information on fishery administrations and
organizations of APEC members to improve understanding among APEC members and
facilitate coordination and cooperation among the relevant fishery agencies
and organizations of APEC members.
Assaf, George B., Brent G. Kroetch, and Subodh C. Mathur (1986). Nonmarket
Valuations of Accidental Oil Spills: A Survey of Economic and Legal
Principles. Marine Resource Economics, 2(3):211-237.
This paper presents an overview of legal and economic theories used to
assess liability and damages for loss of nonmarket goods arising from an
accidental oil spill. Several different economic methods used for quantifying
values are discussed and critiqued. Also reviewed are the fundamental legal
doctrines that permit individuals and public agencies to seek compensation for
these damages. To illustrate the applicability of these economic and legal
theories, two case studies are presented and evaluated in terms of the
principles presented earlier.
Atkinson, Scott E. (1983). "Marketable Pollution Permits and Acid Rain
Externalities." Canadian Journal of Economics, 16:704-722.
This paper examines the economic implications of currently proposed
marketable pollution right (MPR) systems for attaining ambient air quality
standards in local airsheds. We show that (1) the magnitude of local control
costs for one MPR system must be less than or equal to that under the current
pollution control system and (2) if this MPR system significantly reduces
local costs of control, it must significantly increase local ambient
degradation and, with high probability, the extent of long range sulfate
deposition. A simulation for a region of the Ohio River Basin indicates that
the cost saving and increased ambient degradation and sulfate deposition in
the Northeast and Canada should be large.
Atkinson, Scott E. and T.H. Tietenberg (1982). "The Empirical
Properties of Two Classes of Designs for Transferable Discharge
Permit Markets." Journal of Environmental Economics and
Management, 9:101-121.
Previous work by Atkinson and Lewis and Anderson it al. has indicated
the tremendous cost advantages to be achieved by moving from a policy based on
emission standards to one based on marketable emission permits. As Tietenberg
points out, however, neither of the major permit designs treated in the
literature are optimal from all points of view. This has triggered a search
for alternative permit designs, that while they may not minimize compliance
costs have sufficient other virtues as to make them attractive on other
grounds. The purpose of this paper is to examine, within the context of an
empirical mathematical programming model, the air quality emission, and cost
consequences of two classes of the permit designs that can be implemented in
the absence of information on control costs. This case study involves
particulate control in St. Louis.
