Probabilities." Chapter 3 in Theil, Henri (1967). Economics and
Information Theory. North-Holland Publishing Company, Amsterdam.
This chapter is devoted to various uses of conditional probabilities in
economic problems.
Theil, Henri (1970). "On the Estimation of Relationships Involving
Qualitative Variables." The American Journal of Sociology,
76:103-154.
This article is concerned with the specification and estimation of
relationships whose dependent variable is qualitative in nature (such as "yes"
or "no"). It discusses logit equations with and without interaction, and the
estimation procedure is generalized least squares. Part I deals with
dependent variables that take only two values, part II with variables taking
more than two values, and part III describes informational measures for the
explanatory power of the determining factors. The discussion of more advanced
technical matters is contained in various appendixes.
Theiling, Dale L. (1977). "South Carolina's 1976 Shrimp Trawler
Season." South Carolina Marine Resources Center, Technical Report
Number 24, December, 31 pp.
Data concerning the shrimp trawler fishery of South Carolina were
collected during the 1976 season by the Marine Resources Division. Of 62
shrimp buyer and shipper license holders, 37 were considered full time shrimp
packers and were located on charts. Six hundred thirty two single rig and 497
double rig trawlers were registered. Length, horsepower, and other data on
trawlers were compiled by home port and county along with age, race, and
location information on captains. Owners' motivation (i.e. commercial or
recreational) and locations were evaluated. Catch, effort, value, and
location data on shrimp landings were summarized for use by shrimpers,
dealers, and researchers. The 1976 season was reviewed on a monthly basis.

of Shrimp Baiting in Coastal South Carolina During 1987." South
Carolina Marine Resources Center, Technical Report Number 69,
September, 41 pp.
An estimated 21,735 South Carolinians utilized 6,406 boats to catch 1.8
million pounds of shrimp during the 1987 season of mid-August through mid-
December. The typical shrimp baiting trip saw two people shrimping for 4
hours from a 14 foot boat using 12 to 15 bait marking poles and catching 30 to
35 quarts of shrimp (heads-on measure).

Fishermen as Reasoned Action: Behavioral Determinants of Bycatch
Characteristics and Projected Effects of Bycatch Regulations on
Labor Decisions." Presentation, Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council, Shrimp Trawl Bycatch Session, Corpus Christi, May, 5 pp.
This material represents initial efforts to understand the potential
effects of bycatch regulations on shrimp fishermen and are derived solely from
Alabama. This research has two primary objectives, the first of which is to
project fishermen's labor market decisions in light of proposed regulatory
actions to reduce bycatch. To assess this, questions were constructed
premised on the theory of reasoned action. The theory of reasoned action
seeks to explain behavior on the basis of individual intentions to carry out
