Hunting and game-preservation are interrelated. There are two fundamental traditions in the legislation on hunting property rights: the Romanic tradition and the Germanic one, with different consequences in terms of resources use and conservation.The Economic Theory of Common Resources has been applied to provide conclusions about the management and conservation of hunting resources. In this paper, we derive a model of hunting management, adapting the Gordon/Schaefer fisheries model. The conclusions of the model are confronted with Portuguese hunting regulation.

Since the 50s, the central idea in the Fisheries Economics is that, in conditions of free access and competition, the market will lead to market equilibrium solutions that imply the overexploitation of the resources. This fundamental result is due to Scott Gordon in his seminal article of 1954, The Economic Theory of a Common Property Resource: The Fishery, in the Journal of Political Economy.But, in fact, another (more antique) article put the problem and suggested this approach to its understanding: In a short paper, in 1911 (exactly 100 years ago), the Danish economist Jens Warming, put this issue and made a very similar analysis for the fisheries sector.The purpose of this research is to make a reflection on that paper and highlight the explanation proposed for the common property problem and, also, to study the legacy of this interesting fisheries economist to the History of Political Economy.

This paper investigates the role of government in providing education, especially at the regional and local level. The public (or semi-public) good nature of education and the presence of externalities in the production and consumption process can lead to situations of market failure. Consequently the market can be driven to solutions that are not socially efficient and thats the fundamental reason to defend the public provision of education. But there is also a role to be developed by the private school, in this market. Locally, the economic analysis points to an important public role in the provision of educational services, especially at the level of basic education. The justification is based mainly on grounds of fairness, that is, the more or less universal access to the benefits of education being the central issue.

Historically in the world, since last century,fish stocks of many species have been overexploited. A good management of fisheries became essential to permit the preservation of species. Managing fisheries got increasingly complex, once many interests, often contradictory, are always involved. Moreover, through time, political will has not been enough to change things in many places around the world and overexploitation has remained for many species. In India, with a strong population density in many coastal areas depending on fishing, the situation is very severe for many species and new requirements for preservation are now being tried. In literature, fisheries have been analysed in contexts of uncertainty. Chaos theory is one of the theories that have been used to explain fisheries. This work intends to represent a reflection about fisheries overexploitation,considering the utilization of chaos theory and the understanding of the related problems taking into account ethics setting. The India situation is showed.
