Abstract

Offering an alternative to impersonal markets and coercive states, the conzmunitarian institutions built around common property resources have looked attractive to scholars in the humanities and social sciences. Oddly, economic theory has been nissing fromt discussions on CPRs, making it difficult to judge the status of empirical wor-ks, which, in the case of CPRs, have mainly been case studies. This paper presents a fairly complete economic theory of CPRs, identifying not only the circumstances in which communitarian institutions can fimnction well, but also showing when these institutions could be expected to unravel. The theory also identifies an especially dark side of communitarian institutions, namnely, their capacity to permit one group to exploit another within long-term relationships.

公共财产资源:经济分析

围绕共同财产资源建立起来的社会主义制度，为非个人市场和强制性国家提供了另一种选择，对人文和社会科学领域的学者颇具吸引力。奇怪的是，关于CPRs的讨论中一直缺少经济理论，这使得很难判断实证工作的地位，而在CPRs的情况下，实证工作主要是案例研究。本文提出了一个相当完整的CPRs经济理论，不仅确定了社区制度能够良好运作的环境，而且还显示了这些制度可能会解体的情况。该理论还指出了社群制度特别黑暗的一面，即它们允许一个群体在长期关系中剥削另一个群体的能力。
