Abstract

This paper shows that the economic values of resources depend in part on the mangement regime. The value of a resource supporting a commercial fishery will depend on whether the fishery is optimally manged or open access. The Ellis-Fisher (1987) data are used to calculate values under alternative assumptions about management. These calculations show that value is influence not only by biological and economic factors, but also by institutions.
