Common-pool resources are governed as bundles of separable property rights.

Evidence

Second, common-pool resources are not open-access resources but common-property regimes “in which a group of resource owners shared rights and duties towards a resource” (McKean 2000, p. 30). Common-property regimes include a “bundle of rights” (Schlager and Ostrom 1992): the right to access a property; to extract certain units of a given resource (e.g., fish); to manage or regulate internal use patterns; to exclude/determine who has access; and to alienate (e.g., sell or lease the exclusion). Common-property regimes adopt different combinations of the five rights depending on the culture and country. — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G. Sison, Commons Organizing, 62
