Using a simple axiomatic approach, we demonstrate how different conceptions of common and private property over a natural resource translate into contrasting allocation rules. We then apply this framework to investigate the potential justification of collective arrangements for irrigation water. Using a survey on farmers in South-Western France, we investigate stakeholders’ attitudes toward different allocations and their underlying justification. Our results highlight the need to study existing attitudes both at the different level of generality and beyond the opposition between solidarity and responsibility principles. We also observe a strong attachment to historical rights and a rejection of water exchanges, potentially signaling a strong attachment to the status quo or procedural concerns, such as the right to self-organize. Additionally, our results suggest the potential for individual attitudes to change through reasoning or framing. Finally, we discuss how questionnaire studies could provide valuable insights about shared values in a community, and support the design of robust common-pool resource institutions. date: 2024-12-02 date_type: published publisher: Springer id_number: 10.1007/s00355-024-01568-5 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/130437 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: FALSE doi: 10.1007/s00355-024-01568-5 view_date_year: 2024 full_text_status: none publication: Social Choice and Welfare place_of_pub: Berlin refereed: TRUE issn: 0176-1714 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:130437 harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: note harvester_local_overwrite: date harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub oai_lastmod: 2025-03-14T14:07:07Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 citation: Kervinio, Yann , Ouvrard, Benjamin and Reynaud, Arnaud (2024) Fair allocation rules for the commons—informing water policy design through survey methods.
