A conditional demand function that expresses demand for a food as a
function of its own price, the prices of some (but not all) other goods, total
expenditure on these goods, and the quantities of the remaining goods is
introduced in this paper. Conditional demand functions while related to
ordinary demand functions are directly relevant to the analysis of consumer
behavior in the short run, when fixed commitments prevent instantaneous
adjustment to the long run equilibrium and to the study of consumer behavior
under rationing.
Pollak, Robert A. (1995). "Regulating Risks." Journal of Economic
Literature, 33(1):179-191.
A review of two books on risk and its regulation. The results of the
two books are discussed in terms of risk assessment, the scientific component
of risk regulation. The article concludes by discussing whether the proposals
for practical reform are likely to create institutions that engender enough
trust to succeed.
Pollak, Robert A. and Michael L. Wachter (1975). "The Relevance of the
Household Production Function and Its Implications for the
Allocation of Time." Journal of Political Economy, 83(2):255-277.
This paper provides a critique of the household production function
approach and its application to the allocation of time. It is argued that
many applications of the model, especially those making use of implicit
"commodity prices," require that the households's technology exhibit constant
returns and no joint production; otherwise, implicit commodity prices depend
on the household's preferences as well as on its technology and the prices of
market goods. Furthermore, joint production is pervasive in situations
involving the allocation of time. In situations where household production
theory does not provide a satisfactory framework for analysis, the paper
suggests alternative approaches.
Pollard, Jon (1994). "Limited Entry Fishing Rights: Property
Implications." Position Paper presented at the Limited Access
Workshop, Seattle, Washington, November 1-3. National Marine
Fisheries Service, General Council, Alaska Region.
This paper discusses the concept of property in relation to individual
transferable quotas (ITQs). While considered intangible property, limited
entry fishing rights are not considered private property by the courts.
Therefore, compensation is not necessarily required if the government revokes
or takes these rights. The courts note that the licensing agencies ordinarily
retain the statutory authority to regulate uses of public lands and waterways
in the public interest.
Pollock, David E. (1986). Review of the Fishery for and Biology of the Cape
Rock Lobster Jasus lalandii with Notes on Larval Recruitment. Can. J.
Fish. Aquat. Sci., 43:2107-2117.
The South African fishery for the rock lobster Jasus lalandii currently
yields about 3800 metric tons (8.4 million animals) of which more than 90% are
males. Males grow much faster than females, and a size limit which is fairly
large in relation to the size and age at maturity protects females from
exploitation for most of their life spans, thereby ensuring a high level of
larval production from the population. Exploitation rates in the fishery are
controlled by means of quotas on fishing companies, as well as catch limits on
individual fishing grounds. Quotas are reassessed annually to maintain
instantaneous fishing mortality rates of approximately 0.3 on all grounds.
