| 要 旨 |
Departing from the standard economics assumption, we assume that people value work not only for earning income to satisfy consumption needs but also as a source of community/social involvement which provides socio-psychological satisfaction. We show that in closed, rural resource-based communities where sharing in the harvest work is a cultural norm, the socio-psychological satisfaction from work and adherence to work norm can induce full-employment harvesting, thus rendering it optimal to harvest a resource to extinction even if a sustainable resource consumption path is feasible. We show that such communities can sustain their natural resources either by using outside-the-community employment opportunities or by economic diversification. However, to be effective, such policies must ensure that the outside wage rate and the initial capital stock are above certain minimum levels, which will be higher the longer these policies are delayed. |
