Distributing the Benefits from the Commons: A Square‐Root Formula
研究一群渔民捕鱼并卖给消费者时,如何分配渔业(公共资源)的收益,提出每个人的回报应与其贡献成比例,并推导出消费者获得收益份额的平方根公式。
What should be the distribution of the benefits of a fishery (or common‐pool resource) where a group of fishers catch fish and sell it to consumers? I propose that, for each person i , where i is a fisher or a consumer, i's returns should be proportional to i's contributions . Unexpectedly, this implies that the fraction of benefits accruing to consumers must be √value of total output of fish/√value of total outputs of fish+√value of total fishers' labor.
