Birnie, Patricia (1982). "IWC - A New Era." Marine Policy, January:74-
76.
Report on the 33 rd meeting of the International Whaling Commission
including the withdrawal of Canada from the Commission and the outcome of a
proposed international commercial whaling moratorium.
Biro, Elizabeth (1992). "Wide Support for the Wreckfish Plan."
National Fisherman, July:16-19.
The final installment in the series on individual transferable quotas
(ITQs) focuses on a system that has a great chance of success. Wreckfishermen
and regulators alike seized an opportunity to carefully manage a fishery
before it got out to hand.
Bishop, Richard C. (1978). "Endangered Species and Uncertainty: The
Economics of the Safe Minimum Standard." American Journal of
Agricultural Economics, 60(1):10-18.
Species extinction irreversibly narrows the reservoir of potential
resources. The future repercussions of this narrowing are uncertain. This
paper develops the safe minimum standard (SMS) approach to public decisions
involving endangered species. The SMS approach is based on game theory and
calls for avoidance of extinction unless the social costs are unacceptably
large. The level at which costs become excessive is a matter of
intergenerational distribution. The paper also explores important linkages
between the SMS approach and recent literature on preservation of natural
environments.
Bishop, Richard C. (1987). "Economic Values Defined." Chapter 3 in
Decker, Daniel J. and Gary R. Goff (eds.) Valuing Wildlife,
Economic and Social Perspectives, Westview Press, Boulder, CO.
This chapter explains fundamental economic concepts that underlie
wildlife valuation. These fundamental economic concepts will clarify
economists objections to expenditures as a measure of value. Finally, the
concepts will show that part of the tension between wildlifers and economists
can be traced to a basic difference in their perspectives; wildlifers and
economists bring different held values to bear on wildlife issues.
Bishop, Richard C. and Thomas A. Heberlein (1979). "Measuring Values of
Extramarket Goods: Are Indirect Measures Biased?" American Journal
of Agricultural Economics, 61(5):926-930.
A number of potential sources of bias in the contingent valuation and
travel cost methods of valuing outdoor recreation have been discussed in the
literature. These are summarized in the first section of the paper. When
summed together, these potential problems are sufficient to justify
considerable skepticism about the accuracy of resulting value estimates. In
the second section of the paper, we report the results of an experiment where
TC and CV values were compared to values based on actual cash transactions.
Though preliminary, the results of this experiment indicate that substantial
biases exist in both TC and CV estimates.
