Poverty, Private Property and Common Pool Resource Management: The Case of Irrigation Tanks in South India

Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: August, 16 , 2003

This study tries to understand the main causes of tank degradation and the complex interrelationships among poverty, private coping mechanisms and community coping mechanisms that affect tank performance. Primary and secondary data are used to estimate three regressions models: a macro model on tank degradation, a household-level model on collective action, and a production function incorporating collective action as an input.
