Abstract This article combines Aoki’s institutional complementarity concept with actor-centered analysis of action situations to study herder behavior and change in a complex pastoral social–ecological system. Transformation the Mongolian Steppe Ecosystem face climate social has led decline mobility, which turn is making ecosystem less sustainable. Responding this concern, policymakers have designed pasture use conservation policies. We evaluate whether enacted policies are complementary herders’ strategic choices. First, we reconstruct choices herders make commons domain, where interact common pastures. Second, track process political economy users support or resist government Finally, resulting institutions interdependent both domains. In combination game-theoretic model building, employed tracing method during field research Mongolia. not identified any evident, stable between high mobility for policy leasing certification land winter spring camps. Conversely, our findings do suggest that establishing user groups planning can be effective. A critical mass choosing comply these engage will crucial sustaining ecosystem. strengthen conditions create new arrangement overall.

متن کاملBehavioral Spillovers with Interdependent Institutions: An Experimental Study∗
We describe laboratory experiments that produce behavioral spillovers across strategic contexts. In these experiments subjects play two distinct games simultaneously with different opponents. We find that behavior is highly context dependent: when games are paired in ensembles, play differs from the isolated controls. Behavior is also influenced by which other game composes the ensemble, and in...
