epresentative sample of experienced marine anglers with the characteristics
of two other samples using multivariate and univariate analysis techniques.
We conclude a sample of marine anglers drawn from the population of licensed
inland anglers is not significantly different from the representative sample
of experienced marine anglers.

a Market? Evidence form Dolphin-Safe Labeling. Draft, U.S. Food and
Drug Administration, 200 C Street SW, Washington, DC, May, 18 pp.
In this paper, the impact on consumers from the dolphin-safe labeling
program are measured in two ways. First, a demand system for the canned
protein market is estimated by using retail level data to identify whether
dolphin-safe labels alter consumer purchases of tuna. Second, the estimated
demand system is used to provide a lower bound on the welfare effects of the
dolphin-safe labeling policy using the assumption that any shifts in demand
resulting from the dolphin-safe labels would reflect a type of non-use value.
Hypothetical approaches (e.g., contingent valuation) are commonly considered
the only means of eliciting non-use values. However, dolphin-safe labeling
policies would seem a case in which public non-use values for a resource could
be deduced from observable behavior.

(1995). Test-Retest Reliability of Contingent Valuation with
Independent Sample Pretest and Posttest Control Groups. American
Journal of Agricultural Economics, 77(3):613-619.
Test-retest, the standard method used to investigate reliability of
contingent valuation, is limited because when the time period between the two
surveys is relatively short the study may exhibit testing recall. Conversely,
when the time between the two surveys increases there is an increased chance
the true value will change. The test-retest design cannot isolate these
effects. Independent pretest and posttest control groups allow testing of
reliability even when recall occurs or the true value changes. Using this
design, we found ex post estimates of Hicksian surplus are reliable regardless
of whether respondents have direct experience with an activity.

Labor Stickiness in the New England Offshore Fishing Industry:
Implications for Adjustment and Regulation. Land Economics, 64(1):73-
82.
Sticky labor and diverse labor adjustment processes are characteristic
of the New England offshore fishing industry that arose because of kinship
institutions that now dominate both ports. They are further reinforced by
more traditional sources of labor immobility - fishermen s ties to their local
communities, the fragile economic structure of port economies, and the strong
attachment of fishermen to their occupation. This argument is documented with
a case study of two large and economically diversified ports, Gloucester and
New Bedford, that account for around two-thirds of the total New England
fishing industry catch and are home to the bulk of the offshore fleet.
