Abstract

"The purpose of this paper is to contribute to empirical knowledge about the scope for informal governance, and the voluntary cooperation it yields, to reduce the costs of resolving agrienvironmental conflicts. The new-institutional tradition of economic theory that informed the empirical modelling is reviewed in section 2. The case study setting is described in section 3, and the method discussed in section 4. The models estimated are specified in section 5, with the results discussed in section 6. Finally, some concluding comments are offered."
