Statistics, 49:480-486.
This paper seeks to estimate the effects of income and other variables
on the pattern of interregional labor migration in Ghana. While not a logit
or probit model, the authors use linear regression to estimate the
coefficients of independent variables that affect the percent of individuals
that migrate into and out of a region within Ghana.

Trawling in the Sounds and Bays of South Carolina." South
Carolina Marine Resources Center, Technical Report No. 62,
October, 51 pp.
There has been a commercial trawl fishery for shrimp in South Carolina's
sounds and bays for over thirty years, and the controversy surrounding this
practice is a longstanding one. Major issues of concern are related to
potential ecological effects and impacts upon commercial and recreational
fisheries. The prevailing management philosophy has been to permit shrimp
trawling at appropriate times in offshore waters, sounds, and bays while
prohibiting it in the tidal creeks and rivers that serve as nursery areas.
This summary presents the historical background of the sound and bay policy,
describes the rationale for allowing inside trawling, provides information on
the issues, specifies recommendations, and lists alternatives for the
management of the sound and bay resources.

Fewer than two dozen pertinent studies have been published on the
biology of snappers and groupers as related to fishery management
requirements. Almost half of this research was based on tagging programs
which described migratory patterns. There has been only one major effort on
the basic life history of red grouper (Epinephelus morio) and two
investigations on red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) life history. This
paucity of data exemplifies the need for similar life history studies, if
sound management policies are to be adopted in assuring maximum sustained
yield.

The Club of Rome study on the limits to growth treats preferences,
production technology, and the economy unconventionally and implausibly
according to many economists. This paper is an attempt to reformulate the
