Marginal cost pricing and the efficient provision of public recreation
Supply and demand functions for public campground recreation are derived, and subsequently equilibrated to estimate both the efficient price of campground use and the social costs of diverging from that price.

The AA. look at the relationship between the physical change impacts and the socioeconomic implications. They utilise both a GDP-at-risk and an economic cost-benefit approach, in combination with biophysical analysis, to model the impacts of sea

A cost function for local exchange companies is estimated using 1980 data operating in the state of New York, with, as outputs, the annual numbers of local and toll calls.
Choice of agricultural tenancy in the presence of transaction costs
The AA. develop and test with Indian data a model of transaction costs capable of explaining the choice among three major forms of agricultural land contracts : wage, share and rent contracts.
that a spatially differentiated configuration of production may have advantages for the firm in terms of the risk-adjusted flow of revenue, strategic options in relation to competitors, and the management of sunk costs.
between the choice of strategy and corporate form, a series of models of corporate control are developed that distinguish between ownership and management. These arguments are used to analyse the scope of the portion of fixed costs which are non

The effect of energy cost on land-use patterns in the Nagoya metropolitan region
Comparisons of the effect of the higher energy costs of the 1970's on trends in urbanization and suburbanization are made between Nagoya and Chicago. The main factors that appear to be responsible for continuing suburbanization in the Nagoya region
are the rapidly rising land values in Nagoya city and the willingness of large employers to subsidize employee commuting costs. - (SGA)
Dry weight costs and establishment of seeds and vegetative propagules
A garden experiment was conducted to investigate the relationship between the dry weight costs to a plant of producing seeds or vegetative propagules and their frequencies of establishment on a variety of substrates in five weedy Compositae
. Vegetative propagule weight was positively related and depth of burial negatively related to establishment success. The results are discussed in terms of costs per propagule, dispersal efficiency, and establishment success on different substrates.

are the primary focus of the paper. In order to estimate these values, a travel cost survey of duck hunters participating in an organised shoot was undertaken. The extent of the private recreation benefits is assessed in terms of their potential to stimulate
Location, price and cost in the United Kingdom cement industry
U.K. cement manufacturers have operated, and been able to justify, a Common Pricing Agreement since 1934. The Price Commission has recently argued that the industry's prices should reflect costs of production and distribution more closely
. By estimating cost-plus prices for the industry and comparing them with present prices, this paper suggests how much spatial cross-subsidization exists in cement prices, and discloses how the Agreement permits different corporate strategies to coexist.
