	Elinor Ostrom
		Professor Ostrom is interested in exploring how institutional rules affect the structure of action situations within which individuals face incentives, make choices, and jointly affect each other.
		A major study of institutions and forests is being initiated as part of an effort to study the inter-relationships between local and global commons.
		Professor Ostrom is currently working with colleagues in several tropical countries to investigate the impacts of diverse institutional arrangements on forest conditions and on global environmental change.

		Ostrom is co-director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University, which is generating an extensive body of research on community-governed and managed common property institutions.
		For example, the rules needed to govern the allocation of water among farmers on a single, small channel would not be the same as those needed to govern distribution among three major branches of a large irrigation system.
		Ostrom is involved in developing a large data base for comparing resource institutions.

		Some of the most important information pieces with which institutions provide people are the expected benefits and costs to the player and to others from feasible actions, the expected behavior by the others, the feasible strategies, and the nonmaterial rewards and penalties from certain behaviors by other players in the game.
		Elinor Ostrom (1998, 2000) argues that studying the context in which a game happens is crucial because institutions do at least three key jobs in affecting individuals’ decisions to cooperate.
		The framework, first proposed in Cardenas (2000a), is inspired by the indirect evolutionary approach proposal, and also combines inputs from Ostrom (1998), Samuel Bowles’s (1998) argument for an endogenous preferences model, and by Kevin A. McCabe and Vernon L. Smith’s (forthcoming) cognitive model of trusting behavior.

		Sintetizando estas críticas Elinor Ostrom comenta: "los modelos que los cientistas sociales tienden a utilizar para analizar los problemas de la propiedad comunal tienen el efecto perverso de apoyar una centralización creciente de la autoridad política.
		Elinor Ostrom propone en cambio que, en vez de existir una "única solución" al problema de la propiedad común, hay una variedad de opciones a una gran diversidad de problemas.
		Ostrom critica la generalización de este modelo señalando que la falta de comunicación de los participantes es un factor clave en el tipo de actuación de los agentes, pero que ella es resultado de una coerción, no una circunstancia general a las mayoría de los casos reales

		After critiquing the foundations of policy analysis as applied to natural resources, Elinor Ostrom here provides a unique body of empirical data to explore conditions under which common pool resource problems have been satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily solved.
		Ostrom first describes three models most frequently used as the foundation for recommending state or market solutions.

		Ostrom concludes that neither the market nor centralized politics, as it often is suggested, could solve this kind of cooperation defects.

	Common Property?
		Ostrom describes eight "design principles illustrated by long-enduring CPR [common-pool resource] institutions," principles that are absent in most of the scenarios that Bollier envisages.
		Most remarkably, Bollier seems to suggest that Ostrom's remarks about the necessity of communication and trust for successfully managing a common property resource should give us hope that creating common property resources on a vast scale will create communication and trust.
		Ostrom uses "common-pool resource" when I use "common property resource," but the terms are interchangeable in her analysis.
