the world how certain local populations have maintained viable systems of
resource management by successfully self-regulating resource harvesting
activities. Far from being owned by on one and freely open to any user, many
of the fish stocks of the world are under claims of ownership by communities
of fishermen who exercise use-rights and who control access to the resource.
Open access and common property conditions were created and the tragedy
started only after the destruction of such traditional marine tenure systems.

Utilization and Productivity Measurement for Multiproduct Firms

In this paper, we develop measures of economic capacity output and
economic capacity utilization for firms producing multiple outputs and having
one or more quasi-fixed inputs. Although we produce an impossibility theorem
showing that based only on the assumption of cost minimization, the concept of
capacity output is undefined whenever the number of outputs (I) exceeds the
number of fixed inputs (M), we are able to provide alternative constructive
procedures for defining capacity output whenever I
