摘要:In 1990, Elinor Ostrom proposed eight design principles, positing them to characterize robustinstitutions for managing common-pool resources such as forests or fisheries. Since then, many studieshave explicitly or implicitly evaluated these design principles. We analyzed 91 such studies to evaluate theprinciples empirically and to consider what theoretical issues have arisen since their introduction. We foundthat the principles are well supported empirically and that several important theoretical issues warrantdiscussion. We provide a reformulation of the design principles, drawing from commonalities found in thestudies.
