5. Carrying Capacity—level of use a resource
can support indefinitely.
• CC= 100 animals
10 shepherds x 10 animals = 100 animals.

6. Carrying Capacity—level of use a resource

• CC= 100 animals
10 shepherds x 10 animals = 100 animals.
Suppose flocks are private, while land is
communal. What happens?
At CC, each animal worth $1.
Individual flock = 10 animals x $1 = $10
Total flock’s value = 100 sheep x $1 = $100

7. Suppose a shepherd decides to experiment
with adding extra animal. What happens?

8. Suppose a shepherd decides to experiment
with adding extra animal. What happens?
Total flock value = 101 sheep x $ 0.95 = $95.95

9. Suppose a shepherd decides to experiment
with adding extra animal. What happens?
Total flock value = 101 sheep x $ 0.95 = $95.95
Individual flock’s = 11 sheep x $ 0.95 = $10.45

10. Suppose a shepherd decides to experiment
with adding extra animal. What happens?
Total flock value = 101 sheep x $ 0.95 = $95.95
Individual flock’s = 11 sheep x $ 0.95 = $10.45
And therein lies the commons’ tragic fate.

11. Suppose a shepherd decides to experiment
with adding extra animal. What happens?
Total flock value = 101 sheep x $ 0.95 = $95.95
Individual flock’s = 11 sheep x $ 0.95 = $10.45
And therein lies the commons’ tragic fate.
100% of benefit of adding sheep is internal.
