Bioeconomics and the Bowhead Whale
回顾了弓头鲸的经济历史，模拟了1848-1988年的种群动态，并构建了一个生物经济模型，用于确定不同贴现率和种群权重下爱斯基摩人的最优捕鲸量。
In the mid-1970s, the International Whaling Commission concluded that the increased harvest by Alaskan Eskimos threatened the existence of the bowhead whale, which was slowly recovering from a period of open-access exploitation (1848-1914). This paper briefly discusses the economic history of the bowhead whale fishery in the western Arctic, simulates the population from 1848-1988, and presents a bioeconomic model that may be used to determine optimal Eskimo harvest for alternative rates of discount and weights on the bowhead population.
