Risk, Cooperation and the Economic origins of social Trust: an empirical Investigation (2009, unknown): “Examples of farmer-managed irrigation systems are discussed by Bardhan (2000) and Meinzen-Dick et al. (2002) for contemporary India, and by Lam (1998) and Ostrom (2000) for Nepal.”
Inequality And Conservation On The Local Commons: A Theoretical Exercise (2002, unknown): “The U-shaped feature of our model is consistent with recent empirical research on large numbers of community irrigation systems in South India (Bardhan, 2000) and infrastructure projects in North Pakistan (Khwaja, 2000) that find evidence of a U-shaped relationship between measures of inequality amo”
Who Is at the Wheel When Communities Drive Development? Evidence from the Philippines (2009, background): “In a study of community-level cooperation in irrigation systems in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Bardhan (2000) showed that an increase in the Gini coefficient for landholding decreases the quality of maintenance of distributaries.”
Culture and Institutions (2015, unknown): “Bardhan (2000) finds that farmers are less likely to violate irrigation rules when they themselves have crafted those rules.”
Ethnic Diversity and Economic Performance (2005, background): “A well known line of research in the public economics literature has looked at the impact of heterogeneity on public good provision by groups or small communities, focusing on the relationship between inequality in the shares of the benefits from the commonly provided good that accrue to different t”
Beyond Markets and States: Polycentric Governance of Complex Economic Systems (2010, unknown): “Scholars have carefully documented effective farmer designed and operated systems in many countries including Japan (Masahiko Aoki 2001), India (Ruth Meinzen-Dick 2007; Pranab K. Bardhan 2000), and Sri Lanka (Norman T. Uphoff 1991).”
Polycentric Systems as One Approach for Solving Collective-Action Problems (2008, background): “In a study of 48 irrigation systems in India, Bardhan (2000) finds that the maintenance quality of irrigation canals is significantly lower on those systems where farmers perceive rules made by local elite.”
Real wealth and experimental cooperation: experiments in the field lab (2003, background): “…features from both types of problems and in a sense could be considered an impure nonlinear public goods problem as will be discussed later on. dilemmas (Bardhan, 1993, 2000; Dayton-Johnson, 1997; Alesina and La Ferrara, 1999; Bardhan et al., in press; Ostrom, 1998; Varughese and Ostrom, 2001).”
A Review of Design Principles for Community-based Natural Resource Management (2010, methodology): “Likewise, Bardhan (2000) performed a statistical analysis of 48 irrigation systems and found a positive correlation between cooperative behavior and the presence of a guard position.”
Achieving Compliance when Legal Sanctions are Non-Deterrent (2006, unknown): “First, even though exogenous mild law has been found to be ineffective in increasing cooperation, it may yield considerable efficiency gains in coordination problems (Bohnet and Cooter 2001, McAdams 2000b). Second, in some contexts, framing may be important in the provision of public goods. Cookson ”
In pursuit of comparable concepts and data about collective action (2004, unknown): “Some researchers have collected data on relatively large sets of cases (Bardhan, 2000; Dayton-Johnson, 2000; Lam, 1998; Jodha, 1990; Shivakoti and Ostrom, 2002).”
