Who Opposes ITQs?

Creator:: Sutherland, Sara
Abstract:: When evaluating potential government interventions economists often consider whether a proposed policy is efficient. However, changes in policy can also result in changes in wealth.

The Welfare Consequences of Recreational "Derbies": Evidence from Surveys of Recreational Anglers

Creator:: Abbott, Joshua, Lloyd-Smith, Patrick, Willard, Daniel, and Adamowicz, Wiktor
