Weymark, John A. (1980). "Duality Results in Demand Theory." European
Economic Review, 14:377-395.
Four results in demand theory are considered: the Ville-Roy Identity,
the Hotelling-Wold Identity, the Shephard Lemma, and the Shephard-Hanoch
Lemma. It is shown how all four theorems can be stated using the same
functional form and can be illustrated using the same graphical technique.
Consideration is also given to the nature of the compensations employed in
movements along compensated and inverse compensated demand functions.
White, David R.M. (1990). "Sea Turtles and Resistance to TEDs Among
Shrimp Fishermen of the U.S. Gulf Coast." Report, Environmental
Affairs Division, Southern California Edison Company.
The National Marine Fisheries Service has issued regulations requiring
southeast Atlantic and Gulf Coast shrimp fishermen to use Turtle Excluder
Devices (TEDs) on their nets. Significant opposition has developed among Gulf
Coast shrimpers. Ethnographic data, including observations of turtle capture
and mortality, suggest reasons for resistance to the regulations.
Whitehead, John C. (1992). Ex Ante Willingness to Pay with Supply and Demand
Uncertainty: Implications for Valuing a Sea Turtle Protection
Programme. Applied Economics, 24:981-988.
It is argued that ex ante willingness to pay is appropriately measured
as a function of subjective supply and demand probabilities. An exploratory
case study of a loggerhead sea turtle protection programme is used to show how
estimates of these probabilities can be obtained from a sample survey and how
a change in probabilities determines contingent choice. Empirical results
confirm that subjective probabilities are important when explaining ex ante
willingness to pay. Attempts to estimate the determinants of ex ante
willingness to pay without controlling for subjective probabilities will
result in specification bias. It is important that subjective probability
information is gleaned from contingent valuation survey respondents and
included in empirical models of contingent choice.
Whitmarsh, David J. and James A. Young (1985). "Management of the UK
Mackerel Fisheries, An Economic Perspective." Marine Policy,
July:220-236.
The mackerel fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic have undergone radical
development in recent years. The largest EEC participant, the UK, has
introduced a number of control measures designed to regulate these fisheries.
The article highlights the practical difficulties of fisheries management,
drawing attention particularly to the objectives pursued, how closely they
have been attained and the adverse effects of regulation. In the final
section the proposition is made that economically oriented techniques offer a
