Five Principles for Economic Comparisons of Commercial and Sport Fisheries . April 2001. As an Alaska economist interested in fisheries, I have seen a number of different economic comparisons of commercial and sport fisheries. I have frequently found these comparisons misleading. Even when the economic analysis is technically correct, it is all-too-easy to draw misleading conclusions. In this short paper, I suggest five principles for economic comparisons of commercial and sport fisheries. These principles do not relate to the many complicated technical issues in calculating economic impacts and value. Rather, they relate to how these measures of economic impacts and value should be interpreted and used.
