Trust And Cooperation In Natural Resource Management: The Case Of Agistment In Rangelands
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reciprocal altruism is paradoxical; theoretically the more one is trusted, the better the outcomes from one-shot prisoner’s dilemmas, although for individuals the best outcomes are when trust is not reciprocated. Most real life games are not one-shot, but iterated where trust develops through past actions (Cárdenas and Ostrom, 2004). Furthermore, in social-ecological systems outcomes are driven by the biophysical context. In rangelands, our focus, low levels of biophysical variation limit the returns from trusting others and vice versa (McAllister et al., in press). Regardless of context, individuals who are too trusting always loose out.
