WEALTH INEQUALITY AND EFFICIENCY IN THE COMMONS PART I: THE UNREGULATED CASE
研究了在无监管的公共资源管理中,财富不平等如何影响效率,通过理论模型结合社会科学实证,发现影响具有模糊性。
Does more inequality lead to more efficiency in the management of common property resources? To answer this question, an attempt is made to develop relevant theoretical models and to articulate them with empirical evidence drawn mainly from social science studies. The paper is divided into two parts. In this, the first part, assuming away the possibility of regulatory instruments, we construct a series of arguments pointing to the ambiguous impact of wealth inequality on the efficiency of the equilibrium outcome.
