using standard versus special optimizers for solving DEA problems. The use of
standard optimizers is recommended. It is argued that GAMS provides a highly
appropriate framework for building and solving DEA models. The successive
development of DEA models along with the flexible tools for model building and
the large number of standard solvers available with GAMS are the basic
arguments in favor of the use of GAMS rather than a specialized optimizer for
DEA problems. A representation of the CCR model along with some of its
extensions is included as a selection of GAMS statements; the GAMS statements
provide a ready for use framework for DEA in GAMS.

Longline for Red Snapper Fishing." Marine Fisheries Review,
36(1):7-9.
Tropical inshore fisheries are confronted with two basic problems.
First, biological communities within the tropics tend to be diverse. Second,
they rely on the small boat to harvest the interrelated fish stocks. The
present report is based on the idea that to be effective, fisheries
development must find ways of maximizing and diversifying the catching ability
of the basic unit of gear, the small boat.
Olsen, James C. (1973). "Pandalid Shrimp Life History Research at
Kachemak Bay, Alaska." Marine Fisheries Review, 35(3-4):62-64.
The current shrimp research activity in Kachemak Bay will provide
insight into the life history, population dynamics, and behavior of pandalid
shrimp in the Gulf of Alaska. The general objectives of the research on
larval and postlarval shrimp are to increase knowledge about pandalid shrimp
life history stages, behavior, and population dynamics; determine how fishing
affects shrimp stocks; determine the causes of annual fluctuations in shrimp
stock abundance; describe and quantify the characteristics and ecology of
environments inhabited by shrimp; and increase the understanding of the role
pandalid shrimp have in the organic production system of the North Pacific.

The role of government in the economy is discussed in terms of sources
of market failure, public ownership of resources, equity versus efficiency,
and the sources of government failure.
Olsen, Trond E. (1989). "Capital Investments and Resource Extraction
from Non-Identical Deposits." Journal of Environmental Economics
and Management, 17:127-139.
Taking account of necessary investments in physical capital, we
characterize the optimal investment and extraction program for exploiting
several nonidentical deposits of an exhaustible resource. Under the given
technology assumptions, capital investments will be concentrated up front if
deposits are identical. In the case of nonidentical deposits, it may be
optimal to have investments spread out over time. Moreover, the smallest
deposit is depleted first.

This paper characterizes the optimal scheduling of extraction from two
reserves under price and production uncertainty. An essential step in the
