Mobile Flows, Storage, and Self-Organized Institutions for Governing Common-Pool Resources
指出公共池塘资源除了排他性和可减性外,还应考虑流动性和储存性,通过渔业、灌溉和地下水案例,发现用户会根据这些特征设计不同制度,并提出一个有助于理解资源用户策略的类型学。
Common-pool resources (CPR) are treated as if they were fully described by two characteristics-difficulty of exclusion and subtractability of yield. We focus upon two additional characteristics, mobile flows and storage in the resource. In examining CPR settings involving fisheries, irrigation systems, and groundwater basins, we find that users of these resources pursue different strategies and design different institutional arrangements depending upon whether the resource is characterized by mobile flows and/or storage. From this evidence, we develop a typology of CPRs that is useful for understanding and anticipating resource users' strategies in confronting and solving common-pool problems.
