a. The nation of Alphaville has been hunting their deer population to extinction. The government decrees strict limits on the number of hunters, and on the num­ber of rounds of ammunition that each hunter can take into the hunt. Hunters, like fishermen, are a creative lot: What will “capital stuffing” look like in this case?  b. What would an individual transferable quotas (ITQ) system look like in this case?  c. Do real governments use quotas like this to control deer populations? If you don’t know the answer, just ask your classmates: There’s probably a hunter or two in your course.
