[p2p-research] Elinor Ostrom, theorist of the commons, shares Nobel in Economics

[Ryan Lanham]

"Elinor Ostrom has challenged the conventional wisdom that common property
is poorly managed and should be either regulated by central authorities or
privatized," the academy said. "Based on numerous studies of user-managed
fish stocks, pastures, woods, lakes, and groundwater basins, Ostrom
concludes that the outcomes are, more often than not, better than predicted
by standard theories."
