Free Access versus Private Property in a Resource: Income Distributions Compared
比较了资源在自由获取和私有财产两种制度下的收入分配,发现即使没有补偿转移,失去自由获取权的人也可能变得更好,甚至当私有产权带来垄断力量时也成立。
Distributions of income are compared under the alternative regimes of free access to, and private property in, a resource. It is shown that, in several analytically distinct cases, all those deprived of free access on conversion of a resource to private property can be better off, even though no compensating transfers are made. This resu lt can hold even if the granting of private property rights also conf ers monopoly or monopsony power. Copyright 1987 by University of Chicago Press.
