Innovation of Institutional Rules in the Governance of Common Resources

Theme:
Societies and Their Natural Environments

Management of shared or "common pool" resources - like shared grazing or fishing grounds -- is a hard problem. The possibility that some parties will overconsume, pollute or otherwise damage the resource as they extract their personal value from it is always present. To date, researchers have identified basic principles for how humans organize themselves to govern common resources, but these are mostly static principles.

Influenza in Mexico

Theme:
Biological, Social and Cultural Dimensions of Health

Description:
Little is known about the mortality and morbidity impact of seasonal and pandemic influenza in Mexico. In this project, we plan to build a model for evaluating vaccination strategies for pandemic influenza in Mexico, tailored to the Mexican demographic and epidemiologic situation.

    Dynamics of Rules in Commons Dilemmas

    Theme:
    Societies and Their Natural Environments

    Various social sciences have contributed to understanding how humans make decisions in a given rule set of experimental games, such as social dilemmas, coordination, and bargaining. However, the rules of the games are not fixed in real-life settings. No systematic studies have been performed on the question of how humans are able to change the rules in commons dilemmas. From field studies it is well known that people invest significant effort in crafting new rules.
