Dynamic Regulation of Fisheries: the Case of the Bowhead Whale

The regulation of fisheries often requires finding numerical solutions to dynamic optimization problems. This paper presents a version of the "multiple shooting" algorithm and uses it to approximate the dynamic solution to a fisheries problem examined by Conrad (1989): the hunting of the B...
