Instrument Choice when Regulators are Concerned about Resource Extinction

In this paper we undertake a systematic investigation of instrument choice when preventing a population collapse rather than maximizing industry profit is the overriding concern. Contrary to what seems to be the general consensus we find that landing fees do provide more effective insurance against extinction than quotas under more or less the same conditions as those implying that landing fees are better at maximising industry profit. Thus, the efficiency of the regulatory instrument mainly depends on the basic information asymmetries characterizing the fishery, and is not sensitive to whether the regulators total catch goals are set according to economic or precautionary principles.

Brand Name Translation: Language Constraints, Product Attributes and Consumer Perceptions in East and Southeast Asia

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between foreign brand name translation and product-related cues-such as physical quality, perceived origin, and brand name-on consumers\u27 perceived quality, price, and purchase intentions. In translations from alphabetic to character-based languages such as Mandarin, two generic methods of brand name translation are available: (1) direct translation for the meaning of the brand name and (2) phonetic translation for the pronunciation of the brand name. The results from a series of structurally related experiments designed to investigate the effects of brand name translation in a cross-cultural context indicate that for an unknown brand, a phonetic translation may be mandatory, whereas for an existing strong brand name, it may be best to retain the original name

Aircraft anti-insect system

Insect debris is removed from or prevented from adhering to insect impingement areas of an aircraft, particularly on an inlet cowl of an engine, by heating the area to 180.degree.-500.degree. C. An apparatus comprising a means to bring hot air from the aircraft engine to a plenum contiguous to the insect impingement area provides for the heating of the insect impingement areas to the required temperatures. The plenum can include at least one tube with a plurality of holes contained in a cavity within the inlet cowl. It can also include an envelope with a plurality of holes on its surface contained in a cavity within the inlet cowl

Migration, work and housing in Northampton, 1841-71

This thesis studies the growth and development of Northampton, a mid-sized market town with a substantial boot and shoe-making industry, employing almost half the working population. The trade was initially carried on by craftsmen and their families working from home, and moved only gradually from 1859 onwards into newly-built factories where components were assembled by machinists, including many female and juvenile workers. Source materials include four successive censuses from 1841 to 1871 and a comprehensive run of rate books recording the tenants, owners and rateable values of newly-built and existing residential and commercial properties over the period, as well as trade directories listing the principal commercial, industrial and service activities. Together they track and analyse the physical growth of the town, the number and value of new properties built each year, the impact of rating changes, the pattern of ownership, and rateable values per head of the population and turnover rates for tenants and owners, as well as the structure and distribution of the population by age, gender, occupations and birthplaces, street by street, over thirty years. It has been possible to construct age, gender and birthplace pyramids for a representative sample of streets containing over 20 per cent of the population, to calculate migration quotients linking inflows from and contraflows to over 300 parishes within a catchment area roughly 30 miles across, and establish a pattern of movements to and from parishes of differing sizes, distances and population dynamics; and to analyse inflows from contiguous and more distant counties and large cities, and from London, Scotland and Ireland. The results support a detailed commentary on the original laws of migration first propounded by Ravenstein and combine into a study of the principal processes at work in Northampton, the patterns that emerged on the ground and the links between them
