An Equilibrium Conflict Model of Land Tenure in Hunter‐Gatherer Societies
运用冲突经济学和空间竞争理论,构建了狩猎采集社会土地所有权产生的模型,强调土地所有权取决于资源密度和可预测性等生态参数,并允许情境性所有权。
I apply features of the economics of conflict and spatial competition in developing a model of the emergence of land ownership in hunter-gatherer societies. Tenure regimes are the result of interactions between those seeking to defend claims to land and those seeking to infringe on those claims. The model highlights the dependence of land ownership on ecological parameters, such as resource density and predictability, and allows for situational ownership, in which the nature of ownership changes as realized ecological conditions change. The paper concludes with a comparative assessment of tenure across a representative sample of hunter-gatherer peoples.
