Schworm, William E. (1983). "Monopsonistic Control of a Common Property
Renewable Resource." Canadian Journal of Economics, 8:275-287.
In this paper the Crutchfield and Pontecorvo conjecture that a
monopsonistic processing sector would induce efficient use of a common
property resource is analyzed. It is shown that if the harvesting sector
consists of a large number of firms with identical convex technologies, then
the conjecture is correct. In addition, sufficient conditions are found under
which the stationary resource stock with a monopsonistic processing sector is
greater than the efficient size.
Scott, Anthony (1955). "The Fishery: The Objectives of Sole Ownership."
Journal of Political Economy, 63:116-124.
This paper compares the use of a fishery by competing fishermen with the
mode of management that would be most profitable to a sole owner of the same
fishery. The long run considerations of efficiency suggest that sole
ownership is a much superior regime to competition but that in the short run
in the ordinary case there is little difference between the efficiency of
common and of private property.
Scott, Anthony (1967). "The Theory of the Mine Under Conditions of
Certainty." In M. Gaffney (ed.), Extractive Resources and
Taxation, University of Wisconsin Press.
The purpose of this paper is to examine decisions about rates of
production, investment in capacity, and the life of a mine. The same
considerations would apply to the extraction of trees from a forest, oil from
a well, or fish from a fishery.
Scott, Anthony (ed.) (1970). Economics of Fisheries Management: A
Symposium. Institute of Animal Resource Ecology, University of
British Columbia, University of British Columbia Press,
Vancouver, Canada.
A set of papers from a conference on fisheries management. Topics
include dynamic models of fishing, seasonality models, efficient regulation,
management, prices and allocation over space, and the economics of
international fishing conventions.
Scott, Anthony (1973). Natural Resources: The Economics of
Conservation. The Carleton Library No. 68, McClelland and Stewart
Limited, University of Toronto Press, Toronto.
This book is designed to throw some theoretical light on the
implications of conservation. Economics has at hand a body of theory that may
be used to analyze the exploitation and restoration of natural resources as a
special case of using up any productive asset. In addition to accounting for
individual profits and expenses, the student of natural resource use must also
observe the extra social costs and benefits accruing to other persons and
groups.
Scott, Anthony (1979). "Development of Economic Theory on Fisheries
Regulation." J. Fish. Res. Board Can., 36:725-741.
A survey of the economic literature of fisheries regulation shows that
little of analytical value for the comparison of alternative regulatory
techniques has emerged. The suggestion that the general literature on
regulation, and on pubic choice, has something to contribute to the
