Area One is a large irrigation system managed by a government bureaucracy. There are no formal organizations at the watercourse level, though informal arrangements exist in all watercourses for mobilizing farmers to carry out maintenance on a communal basis. The system as a whole is not managed effectively. There are over 5000 total appropriator teams... | 09 Aug 2016 |

The authors find that farmers operate their irrigation system under a contradictory system of de jure and de facto rules. Illegal trading of water among farmers occurs frequently. Farmers use extra-legal means to obtain increased water supplies through bribes to Canal Department officials. Farmers organize predominately around brotherhood or kinship groups... | 09 Aug 2016 |
Institutional Analysis of Tourism system from a Commons Perspective in Upper Mustang, Nepal | Case |

Heterogeneity in the Commons: Hard Infrastructure and Its Effects on Collective Action and Public Goods Provisioning | Case |
| We compare three artisanal fisheries (Lagoon fishery in Greece; Kembong fishery in Thailand; and the Green turtle fishery in Nicaragua) and tangentially draw on three small-scale irrigation systems (Tirunelveli and Kottapalle in South India, and Nabagram in Bangladesh) in order to understand the impact of hard infrastructure on the prospects of collective action with specific reference to the rules-in-use related to common pool resource (CPR) management. Based on the small subset of cases... | 09 Aug 2016 |

Fractal Poverty Traps | Model |
| The dynamic model for poverty traps contains parameters as government policies and technologies, and variables such as income, expenditures, assets holdings and anthropometric status. This dynamic model for poverty traps offers a new perspective by showing the existence of multiple stable equilibria, which implies that there's one unstable dynamic equilibria. At this unstable equilibria, any little shock in the system will cause a switch to state equilibrium. Different to the standard economic... | 29 Nov 2017 |
Fishery Robustness Diagram | Case |
