اثربخشی جهانی راهبردهای تصمیم گیری گروهی در مقابله با متغیرهای علوفه و قیمت مراتع تجاری: ارزیابی مدل سازی

The results indicated that only if all the farmers in an area are either opportunistic or conservative that is, are either responsive or unresponsive to expected profits, the exploitation of the grazing resources were optimal in some senses. A widespread opportunism proved optimal only from an economic viewpoint. However, it is very unlikely that most of the farmers would agree to be opportunistic in practice. By contrast, a widespread conservatism, which in principle is perfectly feasible, proved optimal from economic, social, and ecological perspectives. Notably, it was found that the presence of a relatively small number of opportunistic farmers would suffice to considerably reduce the economic results of widespread conservatism.
