Demand for Pacific Whiting Products: a Multi-Attribute, Multisector
Analysis." Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics,
43(3):501-518.
Variation in seafood prices resulting from differences in product
characteristics are often obscured by highly aggregated data or data
representing only upstream sectors. This can lead to myopic commodity-based
analysis that fails to identify how changes in public and private fisheries
management may impact product characteristics, market development, and long
run social benefits. Given these problems, alternative methods are needed to
complement traditional demand, supply, and cost-benefit analysis. Mail and
personal surveys of seafood wholesalers were conducted to determine
preferences for Pacific whiting products. The relative importance of fillet
and headed and gutted product characteristics were determined using conjoint
analyses and factorial based market experiments. Estimation of relative
profitability, probability of purchase, and sort run conditional demand
models revealed the importance of wholesaler characteristics, physical product
characteristics, and contractual arrangements. Marketing margins and demands
for improved products were also estimated. Implications for private and
public resource management are discussed.
Sylvia, Gilbert, Robert Hannah, and Michael Morrissey (1997). Bioeconomic
Analysis of the Pink Shrimp Fishery. Proposal, Coastal Oregon Marine
Experiment Station, University of Oregon, Newport, Oregon.
The objective of the proposed analysis is to integrate the harvesting
and processing sectors of the Oregon pink shrimp industry and evaluate
economic impacts of altering the mix of product sizes, product recoveries, and
product quality; to evaluate the impacts of growth overfishing and economic
yield per recruit within an integrated bioeconomic model; to evaluate the
economic benefits of using finfish excluder devices; to develop a model that
incorporates these objectives and evaluate alternative management policies of
the pink shrimp fishery; and to disseminate research results through
publications and presentations to industry, managers, and scientists.

of Salmons in Japan with the Advent of Farmed Salmon." Presented
at the International Conference on Fisheries Economics, Os,
Norway, May 26-28.
In the present study an attempt is made to clarify how an increase in
the farmed salmon production affects the demand pattern of salmon in Japan.

Models: Estimation Methods and System Inputs." Highway Research
Record, 392:111-120.
Twelve models were formulated by segmenting the total travel time and
total travel cost by rapid transit and by automobile in different ways or by
leaving them out completely and including only socioeconomic variables in the
model. These models were then estimated by using logit, probit, and
discriminant analyses. The results were evaluated in two respects: (1) are
there differences in performance among the methods of estimation and (2) are
there differences in performance among the twelve model specifications? The
results indicate that there are no statistically significant differences
either among the methods of estimation or among the model specifications
themselves. A model that uses only two user characteristics, income and the
number of working household members, and one system related variable, a dummy
