To Fence or Not to Fence — an economic study on the decision‐making behavior of herders in Gannan prefecture,Gansu province

摘要：

Government has mandated the institution of the Household Contracted Responsibility System ( HCRS) in Chinas extensive pasture areas, in part to prevent or arrest grassland degradation.Fencing is the measure taken to enforce household‐ based property rights and increase grassland protection.However,our research has indicated that some areas in which property rights are clearly demarcated are still experiencing grassland degradation, yet some un‐fencing areas remain in good condition.This situation appears to contradict traditional economic analysis.
