"The Opportunity Cost of Travel Time in Recreation Demand Models."
Land Economics, 59(3):259-278.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate current proposals for valuing
travel time in the specification of recreation demand models. Based on a
household production framework, our analysis examines the implications of the
treatment of travel and on-site times in recreation models. The empirical
results are based on demand functions estimated for 43 water based recreation
sites with the Federal Estate component of the 1977 National Recreation
Survey.

American Economic Review 58: 409-431.
This paper attempts to provide a unified theory of production from
natural resources. A single model of an industry is used to describe a
dynamic process of recovery from such technologically diverse resources as
fish, timber, petroleum, and minerals. Recovery for each of these resources
is seen as a special case of a general model depending upon whether the
resource is replenishable, and on whether production exhibits significant
externalities. A model of centralized management, with particular reference
to common property resources, such as fisheries under stationary conditions is
also discussed and compared with competitive recovery in the stationary state.

The model provides one example of a descriptive theory that transforms
any specific pattern of assumptions about cost conditions, demand
externalities, and biomass growth technology into a pattern (conceivably
observable) of exploitation. The model or variations on it would appear to
have much wider possible applications, such as (1) a theory of bionomic
equilibrium in primitive hunter cultures and (2) possibly the rudiments of an
economic theory of species extinction, both historical and modern.

Resources." Marine Fisheries Review, 51(1):15-17.
The result of the passage of the Magnuson Act and the adoption of 200
mile exclusive economic zones (EEZ) has been that a new international
framework for fisheries is emerging and is continuing to evolve. U.S.
international fisheries policies have paralleled this change in the pattern of
access to fisheries resources, shifting from the promotion of domestic fishing
fleets to emphasizing issues relating to fisheries activities beyond the EEZ.
