Government failures in solving the tragedy of the commons – the example of EU Common Fisheries Policy

Summary/Abstract: The tragedy of the commons occurs when too many users extensively use public goods, such as common pastures, fisheries, roads, etc. This phenomenon can be analyzed as a subcategory of the free riding problem which causes the market coordination of producing public goods to be usually inefficient. However, as is shown in the paper (particularly based on the UE fisheries policy), defining strong property rights to common resources (and allowing the trading of these rights) may be the effective solution to the tragedy of the commons.
