Whittle, Peter (1982). Optimization Over Time, Volumes I and II. John
Wiley and Sons, New York.
An introduction to optimization over time (dynamic programming or
stochastic control) that gives a unified account of the method of dynamic
programming as an analytic tool for the solution of temporal optimization
problems, considers applications of this and related methods to major areas
such as control and inference, and investigates a number of interesting cases
in detail.

Recovery: As Viewed by Two Economists." Choices, Second Quarter:3-
5.
The value society places on salmon has changed over time. Values of
salmon were quite low relative to other uses during the period of irrigation,
hydropower, and navigation development. This short sighted view of resource
values leaves a dwindling number of salmon and a legacy of property rights
which are difficult to change even though they may be viewed as inappropriate
for the future. Recently, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been involved
to halt the population decline. However, the ESA is a narrow and inflexible
tool to apply to complicated biological and environmental problems.
Wieland, Robert (1992). "Why People Catch Too Many Fish: A Discussion
of Fishing and Economic Incentives." Draft report for The Center
for Marine Conservation, January.
The report explains the causes of overfishing and lays out some
management alternatives for commercial and recreational fishermen, policy
makers, and environmentalists; needs work.
Wieland, Robert (1992). Why People Catch Too Many Fish: A Discussion of
Fishing and Economic Incentives. The Center for Marine
Conservation, Washington, D.C.
The book explains the causes of overfishing and lays out some management
alternatives for commercial and recreational fishermen, policy makers, and
environmentalists. The text contains an error in its discussion of sole owner
fishery models and does not seem to understand individual transferable quota
management measures very well or the implications for effort limitation
programs, total quotas, or seasonal closures when the common property
externality exists in the fishery.
Weise, Craig (1990). Borrowing, A Guide for Alaska Commercial Fishermen.
Marine Advisory Bulletin No. 30, Alaska Sea Grant College Program,
University of Alaska Fairbanks, 138 Irving II, Fairbanks, Alaska.
A guide for borrowing money for use in financing a commercial fishing
venture in Alaska. A list of lenders and guidance in filing out loan
application forms is provided along with loan payment tables. Information on
how to conduct a break even analysis and an example of how to conduct one is
presented.
