Restoring Tsunami Damaged Coastal Lands in Sri Lanka: Evidence of the Anticommons?
研究了2004年海啸后，斯里兰卡政府机构数量如何影响非政府组织恢复沿海生态项目的获批概率，发现机构越多项目越难获批，为反公地问题提供了证据。
After the 2004 Tsunami, non-governmental organisations and international groups sought permission from government agencies to implement ecosystem restoration projects. Following the logic of the anticommons problem, the likelihood of project implementation is hypothesised to be inversely related to the number of government agencies which have the right to permit use. Our findings are consistent with the anticommons problem: a marginal increase in the number of government agencies, each exercising the right to grant permission to the applicant, reduces the likelihood that a proposed project would ultimately receive permission.
