In recent years there have been numerous international conflicts about fishing rights. These conflicts are wider in scope than those captured by the model presented in this paper. Yet the model sheds lights on the economic implications of these conflicts as well as on the implications of other...

In models of a multiproduct firm with increasing returns to scale, prices are not set equal to marginal costs. Ramsey prices, which are inversely proportional to the elasticity of demand when demands are independent, are usually used in this situation. An analogous pricing system has been...

Under the assumption of complete markets, a fundamental result of competitive market analysis (whether for speculative or commodity markets) is that prices contain all information necessary for optimal decisionmaking by individual economic units. The role that prices play in disseminating...

We study the allocation of fixed costs to the outputs of a multiproduct firm. First we allocate short-run fixed costs through A-S prices which allocate the long-run costs. Long-run cost functions do not generally contain a fixed cost component. We show what part of the A-S prices associated with...
