Bowes, Michael D. and John V. Krutilla (1985). "Multiple Use Management
of Public Forestlands." Chapter 12 in Kneese, Allen V. and James
L. Sweeney (ed.). Handbook of Natural Resource and Energy
Economics, Vol. II, Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.
This chapter is intended to provide a background in economic concepts
specifically focused on the multiple use management of public forestlands by
extending the models introduced in Chapter 2. The managers of these lands
must, in addition to considering the value of timber harvests, the primary
focus of Chapter 2, consider the various nonmarket amenity services such as
recreation, water flow and wildlife which are influenced by alterations in the
standing stocks of timber. We discuss research results on the relation of
such multiple use management to single purpose timber management. The
presentation is motivated by a number of issues of current concern: the
withdrawal of lands from timber management, the specialization or
diversification of land use, the level and stability of timber supply, and the
wisdom of certain accepted rule-of-thumb principles of public forestland
management related to the age and level of harvests.
Boxall, Peter C. (1995). The Economic Value of Lottery-Rationed Recreational
Hunting. Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 43(1):119-131.
Lottery-rationed permit systems are used to allocate hunting
opportunities where demand for permits exceeds the ability of the animal
populations to sustain hunting harvest levels. Attempts to estimate the
values of lottery-rationed hunting use a zonal travel cost model where
applications per capita formed the dependent variable and expected travel
costs represent the price variable. This paper reexamines this analysis using
a discrete choice travel cost model which incorporates the expectation of
receiving a permit. This model is developed for lottery-rationed antelope
hunting in Alberta. Choice in the lottery-rationed hunting context involves
selecting one site from a set defined through management regulations. The
discrete choice travel cost model is proposed as superior to the early models
because it better represents this behavioral process.
Boyce, John R. (1987). "Information and Uncertainty: A Behavioral Model
of a Commercial Fishery." Draft report, Department of
Agricultural Economics, University of California, Davis.
This paper addresses fishery management from a within season point of
view; the movement of fishermen with multiple locational choices. A model is
developed that explains fishing fleet allocation among the alternative
locations given uncertainty with respect to the catch rates in each location
and competition between the fishermen for the allowed catch. The model
focuses upon the decision rules under which rational risk-neutral agents would
choose to operate when competing with other agents in a stochastic
environment.
Boyce, John R. (1988). "Rent Dissipation from Entry and Exit in a
Fishery." Draft report.
This paper examines the dissipation of rents that occurs in an open
access fishery within a season. The behavioral model that is developed below
explicitly assumes that agents seek to maximize their expected profits over a
fishing season. To do so, agents must account for both the variable costs and
