Bergin, Anthony (1997). Albatross and Longlining - Managing Seabird
Bycatch. Marine Policy, 21(1):63-72.
Seabirds can be accidentally injured or killed during certain types of
fishing. The fishing method currently under most scrutiny for its impact on
seabird populations is demersal and pelagic longlining. The main species of
concern at present are albatross. This paper outlines current mitigation
measures, both gear and operational changes, to deal with the problem. It is
suggested that measures can be developed that achieve a reduction in bird loss
and are practical and economic for the fishing industry.
Bergstrom, John C. and John R. Stoll (1993). Value Estimator Models for
Wetlands-Based Recreational Use Values. Land Economics, 69(2):132-137.
Evaluation and implementation of policies affecting wetlands management
may require measurement of the economic value of the policies to individuals
and groups. A potentially powerful means for measuring changes in wetlandsbased
recreational values is the use of value estimator models. The general
specification and potential applications of value estimator models for
wetlands-based recreational use values are discussed in this paper. Future
research needs are also identified.
Bergstrom, Theodore C. (1982). "On Capturing Oil Rents with a National
Excise Tax." The American Economic Review, 72(1):194-201.
In a static competitive analysis the entire burden of an excise tax on a
good in fixed supply falls on the supplier. Imposing a tax does not affect
the price paid by consumers and the price received by suppliers falls by the
amount of the tax. One is tempted to conjecture that this result extends to
the case of costlessly extracted depletable r Although he amount of such a
resource that is supplied in any single period can change in response to
variation in the intertemporal price structure, the total amount available for
all time is fixed. Thus it is plausible that the effects of an excise tax
imposed once and forever might be the same in the static model. This
conjecture turns out to be true.
