Polinsky, A. Mitchell and Steven Shavell (1975). "The Air Pollution and
Property Value Debate." The Review of Economics and Statistics,
57(1):100-104.
After summarizing the debate over what constitutes a correct
interpretation of econometric studies of the relationship between air
pollution and property values (Anderson and Crocker, Freeman), a model of
residential location and land rent determination that accounts for the
influence of air pollution is developed as a point of departure for a critical
discussion the debate. The regression studies cannot be used for predictive
purposes except to the extent that the city is small and there is mobility
among cities and that the assignment model cannot be used for prediction in
the way that has been suggested.
Polinsky, A. Mitchell and Steven Shavell (1976). "Amenities and
Property Values in a Model of an Urban Area." Journal of Public
Economics, 5:119-129.
The dependence of property values on a schedule of amenities is examined
in the case of a small and open city and in the case of a closed city.
Questions concerned with the predictability and interpretation of changes in
equilibrium property values following an improvement in amenities are
considered in these cases. The problem of identifying the implicit demand for
amenities from a single equilibrium rent schedule is also addressed.

Over Regulation of this Valuable Species is as Wide-Ranging and

The Nordmore grate used in New England shrimp (Pandalus borealis) trawls
greatly reduces finfish bycatch and without any loss in shrimp harvest rates
according to an NMFS study.
Pollack, Susan (1995). New England Groundfish Discards. In Brad Warren,
Win-Win Bycatch Solutions. National Fisheries Conservation Center,
Seattle WA.
New England groundfish fishermen who face dwindling stocks from over
fishing are also discarding juvenile fish from their nets. Proposed solutions
to this problem are to increase the minimum mesh size, reduced minimum fish
size, and the use of diamond mesh nets that allow for increased fish
escapement.
Pollack, Susan (1995). A Promising Collaboration. In Brad Warren, Win-Win
Bycatch Solutions. National Fisheries Conservation Center, Seattle WA.
A discussion of harbor porpoise bycatch in the Maine gillnet fishery and
possible solutions is presented. An experiment using pingers attached to the
net to drive off or warn porpoises is being developed to test its ability to
reduce bycatch levels.
