The Political Economy of Wildlife Exploitation
研究第三世界背景下野生动物开发的模型，分析管理机构和当地农民在合法与非法狩猎中的互动，发现资源利用取决于经济和生态条件，且产权制度形式随之变化。
In this paper we analyze the exploitation of wildlife in a Third World context. In the model there are two agents: an agency managing a habitat area of fixed size and a group of peasants. The agency managing the habitat area has the legal right to exploit the wildlife, while the local people hunt illegally. Introducing the concept of relative harvesting dominance, we demonstrate that the stock utilization depends crucially on the prevailing economic and ecological conditions. It is also shown that the existing property-rights regime appears in different forms depending on these conditions.
