+After graduating with a B.A. and Ph.D. in political science from [[UCLA]], Ostrom lived in [[Bloomington, Indiana|Bloomington]], [[Indiana]], and served on the faculty of [[Indiana University Bloomington|Indiana University]], with a late-career affiliation with [[Arizona State University]].

+
+Since the 60s, Ostrom was involved in resource management policy and created a research center, which attracted scientists from different disciplines from around the world. Working and teaching at her center was created on the principle of a workshop, rather than a university with lectures and a strict hierarchy.
+
+Ostrom studied the interaction of people and ecosystems for many years and showed that the use of exhaustible resources by groups of people (communities, cooperatives, trusts, trade unions) can be rational and prevent depletion of the resource without either [[State (polity)|state]] intervention or [[Market (economics)|markets]] with [[private property]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action |last=Ostrom |first=Elinor |year=1990 |pages=1–3 |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |isbn=978-0-521-40599-7}}</ref>

+Ostrom grew up across the street from [[Beverly Hills High School]], which she attended, graduating in 1951.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Elinor Ostrom : an intellectual biography|last=Vlad|first=Tarko|year=2017|isbn=978-1-78348-588-8|location=London|oclc=965120114}}</ref>
+She regarded this as fortunate, for the school had a very high rate of college admittance. During Ostrom's junior year, she was encouraged to join the debate team. Learning debate tactics had an important impact on her ways of thinking. It allowed her to realize there are two sides to public policy and it is imperative to have quality arguments for both sides.<ref name="Elinor Ostrom – Biographical"/> As a high school student, Elinor Ostrom had been discouraged from studying trigonometry, as girls without top marks in algebra and geometry were not allowed to take the subject. No one in her immediate family had any college experience, but seeing that 90% of students in her high school attended college, she saw it as the "normal" thing to do.<ref name="Elinor Ostrom – Biographical"/> Her mother did not wish for her to attend college, seeing no reason for it.<ref name=":0" />
+
+She attended UCLA, receiving a B.A. (with honors) in [[political science]] at [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]] in 1954.<ref name="NAS">{{cite book |author1-last=McKay |author1-first=Bonnie J. |author2-last=Bennett |author2-first=Joan |title=Biographical Memoir of Elinor Ostrom (1933–2012) |date=2014 |publisher=National Academy of Sciences |url=http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/memoir-pdfs/ostrom-elinor.pdf |access-date=15 April 2015}}</ref> By attending multiple summer sessions and extra classes throughout semesters, she was able to graduate in three years. She worked at the library, dime store and bookstore in order to pay her fees which were $50 per semester.<ref name="Elinor Ostrom – Biographical"/>
+She married a classmate, Charles Scott, and worked at [[General Radio]] in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]], while Scott attended [[Harvard Law School]].<ref name="Leonard" /> They divorced several years later when Ostrom began contemplating a Ph.D.<ref name="Leonard" /><ref name="Harford">{{cite news |last=Harford |first=Tim |title=Do You Believe in Sharing? |date=30 August 2013 |newspaper=Financial Times |url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/afc5377e-1026-11e3-a258-00144feabdc0.html |access-date=15 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715022258/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/afc5377e-1026-11e3-a258-00144feabdc0.html |archive-date=July 15, 2014}}</ref> After graduation, she had trouble finding a job because employers presumed that she was only looking for jobs as a teacher or secretary. She began a job as an export clerk after taking a correspondence course for shorthand, which she later found to be helpful when taking notes in face-to-face interviews on research projects. After a year, she obtained a position as assistant personnel manager in a business firm that had never before hired a woman in anything but a secretarial position. This job inspired her to think about attending graduate-level courses and eventually applying for a research assistantship and admission to a Ph.D. program.<ref name="Elinor Ostrom – Biographical"/>
+
+Lacking any math from her undergraduate education and trigonometry from high school, she was consequently rejected for an economics Ph.D. program at UCLA.<ref>Elinor Ostrom. https://www.ubs.com/microsites/nobel-perspectives/en/elinor-ostrom.html in UBS Nobel Perspectives interview, 2009.</ref> She was admitted to UCLA's graduate program in political science, where she was awarded an M.A. in 1962 and a Ph.D. in 1965.<ref name="NAS" /> The teams of graduate students she was involved with were analyzing the political economic effects of a group of groundwater basins in Southern California. Specifically, Ostrom was assigned to look at the West Basin. She found it is very difficult to manage a common-pool resource when it is used between individuals.<ref name="Elinor Ostrom – Biographical"/> The locals were pumping too much groundwater and salt water seeped into the basin. Ostrom was impressed with how people from conflicting and overlapping jurisdictions who depended on that source found incentives to settle contradictions and solve the problem. She made the study of this collaboration the topic of her dissertation, laying the foundation for the study of "shared resources". The postgraduate seminar was led by [[Vincent Ostrom]], an associate professor of political science, 14 years her senior, whom she married in 1963. This marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership named "love and contestation," as Ostrom put it in her dedication to her seminal 1990 book, ''Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action.''<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Burke|first=Maureen|date=September 2011|title=People in Economics.

+== Career ==
+Ostrom was richly informed by fieldwork, both her own and that of others. During her PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles, she spent years studying the water wars and pumping races going on in the 1950s in her own dry backyard. In contrast to the prevailing rational-economic predictions of [[Malthusianism]] and the [[tragedy of the commons]], she showed cases where humans were not trapped and helpless amid diminishing supplies. In her book ''[[Governing the Commons]]'', she draws on studies of irrigation systems in Spain and Nepal, mountain villages in Switzerland and Japan, and fisheries in Maine and Indonesia.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2012-06-30 |title=Elinor Ostrom |language=en |newspaper=The Economist |url=https://www.economist.com/node/21557717 |access-date=2018-03-03}}</ref>
+
+Ostrom is probably best known for revisiting the so-called “[[tragedy of the commons]]" – a theory proposed by biologist [[Garrett Hardin]] in 1968.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Anderies |first1=John M. |last2=Janssen |first2=Marco A. |title=Elinor Ostrom (1933–2012): Pioneer in the Interdisciplinary Science of Coupled Social-Ecological Systems |journal=PLOS Biology |date=16 October 2012 |volume=10 |issue=10 |pages=e1001405 |doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.1001405 |pmc=3473022|doi-access=free }}</ref> <blockquote>"In an article by the same name published in the journal Science, Hardin theorized that if each herdsman sharing a piece of common grazing land made the individually rational economic decision of increasing the number of cattle he keeps on the land, the collective effect would deplete or destroy the commons. In other words, multiple individuals—acting independently and rationally consulting their own self-interest—will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource, even when it is clear that it is not in anyone’s long-term interest for this to happen. Ostrom believes that the “tragedy” in such situations isn’t inevitable, as Hardin thought. Instead, if the herders decide to cooperate with one another, monitoring each other’s use of the land and enforcing rules for managing it, they can avoid the tragedy."<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>[[Garrett Hardin]] believes that the most important aspect that we need to realize today is the need to abandon the principle of shared resources in reproduction. A possible alternative to the [[tragedy of the commons]] (shared needs) was described in Elinor Ostrom's book "Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action". Based on her fieldwork, the book demonstrates that there are practical algorithms for the collective use of a limited common resource, which solve the many issues with both government/regulation driven solutions and market-based ones. [[File:SPEA.jpg|thumb|School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University in Bloomington, where Ostrom taught.]]In 1973, Ostrom and her husband founded the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indiana.edu/~workshop |title=The Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis |publisher=Indiana.edu |access-date=October 13, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091007083917/http://www.indiana.edu/~workshop/ |archive-date=October 7, 2009}}</ref> Examining the use of [[collective action]], [[trust (sociology)|trust]], and [[cooperation]] in the management of [[common pool resources]] (CPR), her institutional approach to public policy, known as the [[Institutional analysis and development framework]] (IAD), has been considered sufficiently distinct to be thought of as a separate school of [[public choice theory]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Mitchell |first1=W.

+
+It was long unanimously held among economists that natural resources that were collectively used by their users would be over-exploited and destroyed in the long-term. Elinor Ostrom disproved this idea by conducting field studies on how people in small, local communities manage shared natural resources, such as pastures, fishing waters and forests. She showed that when natural resources are jointly used by their users, in time, rules are established for how these are to be cared for and they become used in a way that is both economically and ecologically sustainable.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2009/ostrom/facts/|title=Elinor Ostrom – Facts|website=www.nobelprize.org|access-date=2019-03-05}}</ref>

+Ostrom has been involved in international activities throughout her long and productive career. She had experience in Kenya, Nepal and Nigeria, and also made research trips to Australia, Bolivia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland and Zimbabwe. During workshops and research grants, she and her husband supported many international students, and visited researchers and policymakers. They did not have children of their own and used personal funds and efforts to receive grants to help others. In a 2010 interview, Ostrom noted that because they had no family to support, “I was not ever concerned about salary, so that’s never been an issue for me. For some colleagues who have big families, and all the rest, it’s a major issue.” <ref name=":2" />

It had to be discussed face to face, and based on trust. Dr. Ostrom, besides poring over satellite data and quizzing lobstermen herself, enjoyed employing game theory to try to predict the behaviour of people faced with limited resources. In her Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University—set up with her husband Vincent, a political scientist, in 1973—her students were given shares in a national common. When they discussed what they should do before they did it, their rate of return from their "investments" more than doubled. Her later, and more famous, work focused on how humans interact with [[ecosystem]]s to maintain long-term sustainable resource yields. Common pool resources include many forests, fisheries, oil fields, grazing lands, and irrigation systems. She conducted her field studies on the management of pasture by locals in [[Africa]] and irrigation systems management in villages of western [[Nepal]] (e.g., [[Dang Deukhuri District|Dang Deukhuri]]). Her work has considered how societies have developed diverse [[Institution|institutional arrangements]] for [[Natural resource management|managing natural resources]] and avoiding [[ecosystem collapse]] in many cases, even though some arrangements have failed to prevent resource exhaustion. Her work emphasized the multifaceted nature of human–ecosystem interaction and argues against any singular "panacea" for individual [[social ecological model|social-ecological system]] problems.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByXM47Ri1Kc | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211118/ByXM47Ri1Kc| archive-date=2021-11-18 | url-status=live|title=Beyond the tragedy of the commons |publisher=Stockholm Whiteboard Seminars |date=2009-04-03 |access-date=2013-03-23}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
+
+===Design principles for Common Pool Resource (CPR) institution===
+Ostrom identified eight "design principles" of stable local common pool resource management:<ref>{{cite book |title=Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action |last=Ostrom |first=Elinor |year=1990 |pages=90, 91–102 |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |isbn=978-0-521-40599-7}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=Big Think|title=Ending The Tragedy of The Commons|date=2012-04-23|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr5Q3VvpI7w| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211118/Qr5Q3VvpI7w| archive-date=2021-11-18 | url-status=live|access-date=2018-03-25}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
+
+# Clearly defining the group boundaries (and effective exclusion of external un-entitled parties) and the contents of the common pool resource;
+# The appropriation and provision of common resources that are adapted to local conditions;
+# Collective-choice arrangements that allow most resource appropriators to participate in the decision-making process;
+# Effective monitoring by monitors who are part of or accountable to the appropriators;
+# A scale of graduated sanctions for resource appropriators who violate community rules;
+# Mechanisms of conflict resolution that are cheap and of easy access;
+# Self-determination of the community recognized by higher-level authorities; and
+# In the case of larger common-pool resources, organization in the form of multiple layers of nested enterprises, with small local CPRs at the base level.
+
+These principles have since been slightly modified and expanded to include a number of additional variables believed to affect the success of [[Self-organized#Self-organization in human society|self-organized governance systems]], including effective communication, [[Trust (social sciences)|internal trust]] and [[Reciprocity (cultural anthropology)|reciprocity]], and the nature of the resource system as a whole.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Poteete, Janssen |author2=Elinor Ostrom |title=Working Together: Collective Action, the Commons, and Multiple Methods in Practice |year=2010 |publisher=Princeton University Press}}</ref>
+
+Ostrom and her many co-researchers have developed a comprehensive "[[Socio-ecological system|Social-Ecological Systems]] (SES) framework", within which much of the still-evolving theory of common-pool resources and collective [[self-governance]] is now located.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ostrom |first1=E. |author-link1=Elinor Ostrom |title=A General Framework for Analyzing Sustainability of Social-Ecological Systems |doi=10.1126/science.1172133 |journal=Science |volume=325 |issue=5939 |pages=419–422 |year=2009 |pmid=19628857 |bibcode=2009Sci...325..419O |hdl=11059/14638 |s2cid=39710673 }}</ref>
+
+===Environmental protection===
+According to the [[Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research]], "Ostrom cautioned against single governmental units at global level to solve the collective action problem of coordinating work against [[environmental destruction]]. Partly, this is due to their complexity, and partly to the diversity of actors involved. Her proposal was that of a polycentric approach, where key management decisions should be made as close to the scene of events and the actors involved as possible." Ostrom helped disprove the idea held by economists that natural resources would be over-used and destroyed in the long run. Elinor Ostrom disproved this idea by conducting field studies on how people in small, local communities manage shared natural resources, such as pastures, fishing waters in Maine and Indonesia, and forests in Nepal. She showed that when natural resources are jointly managed by their users, in time, rules are established for how these are to be cared for and used in a way that is both economically and ecologically sustainable.<ref>Vedeld, Trond. 2010, February 12.

+===Ostrom's law===
+'''Ostrom's law''' is an [[adage]] that represents how Elinor Ostrom's works in [[economics]] challenge previous theoretical frameworks and assumptions about [[property]], especially the [[commons]]. Ostrom's detailed analyses of functional examples of the commons create an alternative view of the arrangement of [[resources]] that are both practically and theoretically possible. This [[eponymous law]] is stated succinctly by Lee Anne Fennell as:
+
+<blockquote>A resource arrangement that works in practice can work in theory.<ref>{{cite journal |first1=Lee Anne |last1=Fennell |title=Ostrom's Law: Property rights in the commons |url=http://www.thecommonsjournal.org/index.php/ijc/article/view/URN%3ANBN%3ANL%3AUI%3A10-1-101330 |journal=International Journal of the Commons |date=Mar 2011 |issn=1875-0281 |pages=9–27 |volume=5 |issue=1 |access-date=16 February 2015 |doi=10.18352/ijc.252|doi-access=free }}</ref></blockquote>

+===Nobel Prize in Economics===
+In 2009, Ostrom became the first woman to receive the [[Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences]]. The [[Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences]] cited Ostrom "for her analysis of economic governance", saying her work had demonstrated how [[common property]] could be successfully managed by groups using it. Ostrom and [[Oliver E. Williamson]] shared the 10-million [[Swedish krona|Swedish kronor]] (€990,000; $1.44 million) prize for their separate work in [[economic governance]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8302662.stm |title=First woman wins economics Nobel |website=BBC News |date=12 October 2009 |access-date=15 April 2015}}</ref> As she had done with previous monetary prizes, Ostrom donated her award to the Workshop she helped to found.<ref name="Wall" /><ref name="Arrow">{{cite journal |author1-last=Arrow |author1-first=Kenneth |author1-link=Kenneth Arrow |author2-last=Keohane |author2-first=Robert O. |author2-link=Robert O.

+[[File:Group Photo (4171912803).jpg|left|thumb|Elinor Ostrom with the other 2009 Nobel laureates]]
+The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said Ostrom's "research brought this topic from the fringe to the forefront of scientific attention...by showing how common resources—forests, [[fisheries]], [[oil fields]] or [[Grazing|grazing land]]s—can be managed successfully by the people who use them rather than by governments or private companies". Ostrom's work in this regard challenged [[conventional wisdom]], showing that common resources can be successfully managed without [[government regulation]] or [[privatization]].<ref name="NYTObit">{{cite news |last=Rampell |first=Catherine |title=Elinor Ostrom, Winner of Nobel in Economics, Dies at 78 |newspaper=New York Times |date=13 June 2012 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/13/business/elinor-ostrom-winner-of-nobel-in-economics-dies-at-78.html |access-date=15 April 2015}}</ref>
+
+In awarding Ostrom the Nobel Prize for the Analysis of Economic Governance, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted that her work "teaches us novel lessons about the deep mechanisms that sustain cooperation in human societies." Even if Ostrom's selection (along with co-recipient Oliver Williamson of the University of California, Berkeley) seemed odd to some, others saw it as an appropriate reaction to free-market inefficiencies highlighted by the 2008 financial crisis.<ref name=":1" />
