the adding-up property is rejected. The existence of individual production
functions for each output is also rejected. Unless joint production is
permitted, the estimates of responsiveness of a particular commodity to
changes in own price or prices of competing outputs are likely to be
considerably understated.

Marine reserves in New Zealand have proven to be (1) popular, (2)
practical to enforce, (3) useful for finding out more about basic marine
conditions and processes, (4) providing a more natural baseline for marine
managers, and (5) supportive of the natural ecosystem without requiring any
particular knowledge of what this is or how it operates.
Ballard, Kenneth and James Roberts (1977). Empirical Estimation of the
Capacity Utilization Rates of Fishing Vessels in 10 Major Pacific Coast
Fisheries. Office of Scientific and Technical Services, Washington,
D.C., March, 35 pp.
This paper proposes to measure the harvesting capacity of the major
elements of the U.S. Pacific fishing fleet. The type of capacity used is
called peak-to-peak capacity and reflects the percentage of potential
harvest that the industry would be willing to produce if there were not
constraints on resource availability or restrictions on resource harvesting.
Because the definition of capacity is extremely crucial to this analysis and
its application, the underlying assumptions is crucial to the methodology
chosen to calculate capacity. Ten Pacific coast fisheries have been examined
for 15 to 17 years. These fisheries account for 86 percent of the dollar
volume and 72 percent of the total weight volume of landings in the Pacific
area.

Barbera, Anthony J. and Virginia D. McConnell (1986). "Effects of
Pollution Control on Industry Productivity: A Factor Demand
Approach." The Journal of Industrial Economics, 35(2):161-172.
Four major manufacturing industries are examined. The abatement effect
on capital and labor productivity are determined from parameters of a system
of factor demand equations that allow for disequilibrium in factor markets.
The system is estimated for each industry with annual time series data from
1960 to 1980. Abatement requirements were found to retard both average
capital productivity and average labor productivity in three of the four
industries; paper, chemicals and primary metals. For several industries in
which factor productivity was slower after 1973, environmental controls
accounted for a significant proportion of that slow down.
