Unwritten Law: Resilient Management In Latin American Artisanal Fisheries, Brandon Chapman
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Latin American small-scale fishery production is crucial to local communities that count on fish as a key source of protein in daily consumption and for supplying the increasing demand for exported high-value species in the first world. Many small-scale fishing communities have exhibited various forms of informal institutions that serve to manage rights to the fishery, a common-pool resource (CPR).

Determinants Of Residential Water Conservation: The Case Of Salt Lake City Utah, Eric A. Coleman
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

We add to the existing residential water demand literature by exploring panel estim ation techniques with disaggregated household level data. Alternative policies used to induce water conservation are di scussed based on estimates of demand schedule parameters. We find that public conservation .campaigns have had negli gible impacts on the city's water use. There have been, however, statistically significant reductions in consumption due to price changes despite minimal price increases. Our findings should enable local and state policymakers to …
