Fisheries, Markets Operations Outlook." Bureau of Economic and
Business Research, College of Business Administration, University
of Florida, Gainesville.
This study was designed to scrutinize the Florida producer's present
operations, his markets, costs, and other economic characteristics of the
industry. It is based on a field survey of Florida producers and data from
the Commercial Fisheries Branch of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

This reports the findings of a study to discover the nature of the
economic problems confronting the shrimp fishery of the United States during
the period from 1956 to 1959. Special attention is given to the problems
existing in 1959.

Between Size and Stability in the Major Power International
System." American Journal of Political Science, 22(4):743-771.
The balance of power literature is intermingled with hypotheses relating
the number of actors to stability in the international system. In addition to
the controversy in the theoretical literature, there is an extensive empirical
literature in which we find support for a wide range of contradictory
hypotheses. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the leading hypotheses
based on operationalizations of the key concepts that are consistent with the
balance of power literature, a common data set, a coherent specification of
the contending hypotheses, and the use of appropriate estimation techniques.
A major factor in this test is that the dependent variable of each model is
not a measure of the amount of war; instead, we estimate the probability of
war through the use of the probit estimation technique. The results of the
comparative evaluation indicate that the existing hypotheses are not able to
account for the probability of war in the international system.

Economic Data Base Framework for Fisheries Dependent Areas: Baseline
Report. FAIR CT95 0070, European Social Science Fisheries Network,
Universities of Trondheim and Hull, November, 40 pp.
The European Social Science Fisheries Network has undertaken to develop
the framework for a comparable national social science data base. This would
seek to make good the deficiencies in existing data sources for the socioeconomic
analysis of fisheries dependent regions and fishing based
communities. This report provides a baseline analysis through: (a) an
elaboration of key parameters surrounding the development of a socio-economic
data base for fisheries dependent areas; (b) an initial analysis of
statistical sources as part of an ongoing analysis of national statistical
cultures; and (c) an elaboration of initial conceptions of and recommendations
