found that fishermen are responsive to economic incentives and do move between
occupations to take advantage of earning differentials. This mobility,
however, is tempered by noneconomic factors such as age, location, religion,
isolation, and occupational preference. Labor appears to be quite mobile
between occupations but less so between locations.

Statics of a Competitive Industry with Inframarginal Firms." The
American Economic Review, 68(3):474-478.
A simple analytical model of a competitive industry with a rising supply
curve is developed by positing that firms may have diverse endowments of a
fixed factor in inelastic supply. Thus, in equilibrium, there may be
inframarginal firms earning economic rents that are imputed to the fixed
factor. When there are inframarginal firms, only the input market measure of
social benefits is accurate.

Land Price Uncertainty." American Journal of Agricultural
Economics, 70(1):133-141.
Several authors have noticed that, in the uncertain short run, the
supply function may slope downward and the input demand functions may slope
upward. These possibilities prevent the setup of unambiguous tests of
rational behavior. In this article, testable hypotheses for the competitive
firm operating in a price uncertain environment are derived assuming a long
run horizon.
Some of these hypotheses take the form of Slutsky type relations involving the
relative input demand functions (the ratios of input to output quantities).
Homogeneity restrictions involving input and output mean prices, in general,
are absent under uncertainty. Conditions for restoring this homogeneity are
also discussed. The main result is the rediscovery of the importance of
relative quantities for the analysis of a long run equilibrium.

Restrictions: A Synthetic Inverse Demand System Approach. Ph.D.
Dissertation, Department of Economics, North Carolina State University,
Raleigh, N.C., 188 pp.
This dissertation develops an integrated inverse demand system, called
the synthetic inverse demand system (SIDS) extending Barten s (1993) ordinary
demand approach into the inverse demand approach. It further extends the
static SIDS system dynamically by incorporating habit formation. The current
study suggests four possible SIDS systems and selects the system according to
the average information inaccuracy criterion. Then the study proposes and
applies some tools of welfare measurement appropriate for the inverse demand
approach. In addition, this dissertation tackles aggregation problems since,
for fish, one may hesitate to accept the species as the relevant economic
commodity.
