Abstract
Common-pool resources (CPR) are shared resources that can be at the risk of depletion as a result of over-use [1]. To avoid the Tragedy of the commons, users can build institutions for collective action, i.e., systems of rules and enforcement mechanisms that allow for collective management and use of those resources [2]. In other words, such institutions are the collection of rules-in-use that emerge as a result of collective decision making of entitled users [3]. The cooperation among the members of an institution for collective action can enable the sustainable governance of resources. However, these members are heterogeneous in different way, possibly affecting their level of cooperation. In commons literature, heterogeneity is defined as diversity in wealth, power, cast, preferences, income among commoners [4, 5].
While theoretical research suggests that inequality can have a positive influence on collective action [6], some empirical studies have highlighted the...
