I’m working on a economics writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
reading is to Elinor Ostrom’s “Collective Action and the Evolution of Social Norms (Links to an external site.)“. Ostrom won the economics Nobel in 2009 for her work on the governance of natural and common property resources. I chose this as a required reading because, like the other two required readings, it can tell us something about the ways in which economics intersects with other disciplines. Ostrom’s research touches on many different disciplines, including for example economics, political science, anthropology, and experimental methods.
What surprised you, particularly interested you, or confused you about the reading? How do you think this fits in to the “big picture” of our course so far, and to your understanding and experience of economics as a discipline in general? Were there particular cross-disciplinary connections that stood out to you? What do you think we can take away from this paper to inform public policy? What future directions for research might be useful here?
