FILIPE, José António; FERREIRA, Manuel Alberto M.  e  COELHO, Manuel Pacheco. Inefficient utilization of resources - An anti-commons view in the fishing sector: the aquaculture problem.. Economia Global e Gestão [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.2, pp.81-88. ISSN 0873-7444.

Anti-Commons Theory is a very recent development in the area of property rights. It intends to explain why an “anti-commons” emerges and why resources may be prone to underuse. In an anti-commons situation there are too many exclusion rights that lead to the under--use of resources. In Portugal, too many people (and institutions) have been involved in the approval processes of aquaculture projects. They may be involved in reaching a decision about the approval of a project which gives rise to the under-utilization of the resources promoters aimed to exploit. In fact, it takes so long to approve a project that the time required for its implementation is excessively delayed.

Palavras-chave : Anti-commons; Anti-commons Tragedy; Property Rights; Exclusion Rights.
