Smith, Terry and Ron Miller (1987). "Limited Access in Alaskan
Fisheries: some Options." Discussion Paper 87-1, North Pacific
Fishery management Council, September, 17 pp.
This paper describes limited access management for the Alaskan
groundfish fisheries.
Smith, V. Kerry (1975). "Travel Cost Demand Models for Wilderness
Recreation: A Problem of Non-Nested Hypotheses." Land Economics,
51(2):103-111.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which the
traditional specifications of the travel cost demand equations would be
acceptable models for wilderness recreation for one case study - the
Desolation Wilderness Area in Northern California. Several specifications of
travel cost models are examined and a recent test for non-nested hypotheses is
used to discriminate between them. Overall the findings suggest that while
travel cost equations can readily be estimated and by conventional criteria
they might be considered fully acceptable, it is not clear that they should be
accepted as reflecting adequately the character of the demand for wilderness
recreation.
Smith, V. Kerry (1977). "Control Theory Applied to Natural and
Environmental Resources, An Exposition." Journal of Environmental
Economics and Management, 4:1-24.
Four control theory models of natural and environmental resource use,
drawn from the existing literature, are developed in a manner to emphasize
their technical and decentralized interpretive similarity. Renewable,
nonrenewable, and amenity resource use are treated as closely related problems
of optimal (biological, earth material, ecological, or environmental) capital
allocation over time. Thus nonrenewable resources, and the problem of
exhaustion, are just limiting (zero growth) cases of renewable resources, and
the problem of species extinction. Just as exhaustion can be optimal,
extinction can be optimal. Waste recycling is treated as part of the problem
of optimal regeneration of "clean" environmental capital; wilderness use as a
problem of managing the regeneration of ecological capital.
Smith, V. Kerry (1979). "Natural Resource Scarcity: A Statistical
Analysis." The Review of Economics and Statistics, 61:423-427.
This paper evaluates the tends in relative prices of natural resource
commodity aggregates using statistical methods that permit the analysis of the
stability and the direction of movement in these series over time to determine
resource scarcity.
Smith, V. Kerry (1979). Scarcity and Growth Reconsidered. Resources for
the Future, The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore.
This volume is based on a conference that investigated resource
scarcity. The objective is to report on an effort to reconsider the long run
importance and availability of natural resources for economic growth and
material well being. The forum was organized around three broad aspects of
scarcity and growth: (1) the role of natural resources in economic modeling;
(2) the nature of the physical constraints on the availability of natural
resources; and (3) the ability of empirical methods to gauge the potential for
stringencies in our natural resource endowments.
