ECOLOGISTS describe land as having a “carrying capacity,” the maximum population that land can sustain indefinitely. Once the carrying capacity of land is exceeded, resources are depleted faster than they can be renewed, and the terrain starts to become wasteland. The ecologist Garret Hardin found that when land is held in common by many

Beyond the tragedy of the Commons
ECONOMICS AND POLICY OF ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, 2009- To move beyond Hardin's tragedy of the commons, it is fundamental to avoid falling into either of two analytical and policy traps: deriving and recommending "panaceas" or asserting "my case is unique". We can move beyond both traps by self-consciously building diagnostic theory to help unpack and understand the complex interrelationship between ...

Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research, 2006
The tragedy of the commons as a food basket is averted by private property, or something formally like it. The pollution problem is a consequence of population. Analysis of the pollution problem as a function of population density uncovers a not generally recognized principle of morality, namely: the morality of an act is a function of the state of the

The Tragedy of the Medicare Commons?
HealthcarePapers, 2001Peter Ubel's main conclusion is that physician participation in bedside rationing is essential to controlling healthcare costs. This conclusion is out of step with the current focus of thinking and policy debate within Canada and other countries with universal public healthcare systems. In the Canadian context, collectively we need to better understand

‘The tragedy of the commons’ arises when it is difficult and costly to exclude potential users from common-pool resources that yield finite flows of benefits, as a result of which those resources will be exhausted by rational, utility-maximizing individuals rather than conserved for the benefit of all.

A Model for ``The Tragedy of the Commons''
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1974A formal dynamic model which represents the assumptions in Hardin's paper, ``The Tragedy of the Commons,'' exhibits his conclusions explicitly. The calculus serves as an adequate language for the model, but its conclusions are exhibited graphically with the aid of a simulation language and computation.

The Real Tragedy of the Commons
Philosophy & Public Affairs, 2001In two celebrated and widely anthologized articles, as well as several books, the biologist Garrett Hardin claims (a) that the world population problem has a certain structure: it is a tragedy of the commons; and, (b) that, given this structure, the only tenable solutions involve either coercion or immense human suffering.' In this article, I shall ...

The Tragedy of the Commons Revisited
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009Garrett Hardin's essay “The Tragedy of the Commons”1 aptly describes the current state of the U.S. health care system. Hardin tells the story of herders who make what are individually rational decisions to exploit common land by grazing as many cattle as possible, to the ultimate detriment of the land and consequently the common good.

When is the Tragedy of the Commons Not a Tragedy?
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012Economists tend to rely upon tried and true examples to make their theoretical points. Since H. Scott Gordon’s 1954 article entitled “The Economic Theory of a Common Property Resource: The Fishery,” the overexploitation of an open-access resource has been a usual presentation in any discussion that deals with aligning incentives with appropriate ...

We are accelerating from “Tragedy of the Commons” to a state of “Tragedy of the Commoners”, as we progress, we are putting the heavy burdens of environmental impacts on the common people. There is a need to come up with shared values to allow all the players to work together sensibly to turn this tragedy around for our future generations.
