Beyond Markets and States: Polycentric Governance of Complex Economic Systems (2010, unknown): “In light of a comparative study of private, community, and state governed common-pool resources, R. Quentin Grafton (2000) found each to be successful when well matched to local settings and involving the active participation of local users.”
Incentive-based Approaches to Sustainable Fisheries (2006, background): “…are a greater number of fisheries under surveillance, if the average cost to provide management services is lower with a larger number of services (e.g., science advice, monitoring, and research), or if there is a publicgood aspect (such as species diversity) to fisheries management (Grafton 2000).”
On the ‘Efficient Boundaries of the State’: The Contribution of Transaction-Costs Economics to the Analysis of Decentralization and Devolution in Natural Resource Management (2004, background): “(9) In situations where natural resources provide public goods, resource use under private and common-property regimes may lead to negative external effects that call for involvement of the state (compare Grafton, 2000).”
Social Capital and National Environmental Performance: A Cross-Sectional Analysis (2004, background): “This realization has led some governments to actively fund groups and associations involved in environmental stewardship so as to promote improved environmental wellbeing (Carr, 2002), and has led others to question the role of the state in environmental policy (Grafton, 2000).”
Local Enforcement and Better Forests (2005, background): “…policy analysts now face is to move beyond the presumption that there is one, or a very limited, set of institutions that works to solve all commons dilemmas and to sort out which factors are most important in achieving successful management of resources—at least at a local level (Grafton, 2000).”
