This paper summarizes conclusions based on field experience gained in
various regions of the world on problems of bycatch utilization and on the
recommendations emanating from the Technical Consultation on Shrimp Bycatch
Utilization held in Georgetown, Guyana, 27-30 October 1981. In view of the
considerable experience already gained, the paper proposes a strategy to
promote a fuller use of shrimp bycatch and outlines the objectives and the
structure of an initial two year coordinating project to achieve it.

Yucel, Mine Kuban (1989). "Severance Taxes and Market Structure in an
Exhaustible Resource Industry." Journal of Environmental Economics
and Management, 16:134-148.
This paper compares the effects of a severance tax on profit maximizing
competitive and monopolistic firms that explore and produce an exhaustible
resource. The producers' response to the tax are studied and the deadweight
losses from the tax are calculated. Time paths of exploratory effort,
extraction, and price are computed. Severance taxes lead both producers to
reduce production and exploration and cause a shift in the time path for
prices. The deadweight losses from the tax are low, especially in
competition. The losses in the monopoly case are relatively higher, with the
tax burden falling mainly on the monopolistic producer.

The contributions is this volume define a number of frontiers in
econometric theory. Most of them illustrate with empirical applications. It
is often through econometrics that theoretical hypotheses are confronted with
data, and it is often through econometrics that economists attempt to use
theory for purposes of quantitative policy. While applied research cannot be
better than the underlying economic theory and available data, it also cannot
be better than statistical procedures utilized.
