Introducing Ecological Dynamics into Common-Pool Resource Experiments

Janssen, Marco A. - 2010

"Case-study analysis shows that long-lasting social–ecological systems have institutional arrangements regulating where, when, and how to appropriate resources instead of how much. Those cases testify to the importance of the fit between ecological and institutional dynamics. Experiments are...

Decade of ITQ Management in Icelandic Fisheries: Consolidation Without Consensus

Eythorsson, Einar - 2000

"While the Icelandic fisheries have been managed by individual transferable quotas (ITQs) for almost a decade and the fisheries sector seems to be performing well in economical terms, there is still no consensus about quota issue. Lately, the difficult situation of fisheries communities short of...

Distributing the Benefits from the Commons

Silvestre, Joaquim - 1993

"The common-property literature has often focused on the question of efficiency. Here we consider distributional issues instead. How should the benefits of the commons (say, a fishery) be distributed? We approach the question from the viewpoint of ownership rather than income redistribution. "A...

Essays on Individual Behavior in Social Dilemma Environments: An Experimental Analysis

Dudley, Dean - 1993

"In this study, individual level behavior is investigated in the context of computer assisted voluntary contribution mechanism public good (VCM) provision experiments and common pool resource (CPR) appropriation experiments. Previous studies of these environments have concentrated on aggregate...

Salience and Its Implications for Common-Pool Resource Management in Scotland: A Tragedy of a Different Kind?

Brown, Katrina Myrvang; Slee, Bill - 2002

"In past contributions to CPR theory, the issue of salience/dependence on a resource has been flagged up as a one of a … high. However, cases do exist of CPRs in which this assumption does not hold, and consequently, related theory proves to be … into question the possibility and utility of constructing a coherent CPR meta-theory." …

Chaos on the Commons: Considering the Implications of Nonequilibrium Theory for Common Property Research

Morgan, Betty - 1995

"The rapidly emerging 'new science' of nonequilibrium systems theory may offer common property researchers and scholars …. Deriving from the dynamical holism of quantum physics, nonequilibrium theory engages the spontaneity, chaos, interrelatedness … paper explores the aspects of nonequilibrium theory which may be instructive in an expanded vision of common property …

Framework to Analyze the Robustness of Social-Ecological Systems from an Institutional Perspective

Anderies, John M.; Janssen, Marco A.; Ostrom, Elinor - 2004

"What makes social-ecological systems robust? In this paper we look at the institutional configurations that affect the interactions among resources, resource users, public infrastructure providers, and public infrastructures. We propose a framework that helps to identify potential...

Costly Voting: Theoretical and Experimental Results on Commons Dilemmas in Spatial Committee Games

Wilson, Rick K.; Herzberg, Roberta; Elliott, Mark - 1993

"Our focus in this paper is with the transaction costs inherent in most decision making settings. We specifically investigate an "institution free" collective choice mechanism that includes costs to calling votes. A set of models show that under low costs (i.e., where no cost-induced equilibrium...
