Genetic Test of Chukchi Circuit Hypothesis Based on Dirichlet Distribution and Whaling Management Based on People's Need
Bowhead whales is an endangered species but they are still hunted by Inuits. How to protect the endangered species and at the same time fulfill people’s need is an important topic in economics. Resource economics and Welfare economics are two branches of economics and both of them give some answer....
