Hardin’s commons parable now has over 10,000 scholarly citations

Evidence

So persuasive was Hardin in articulating this connection that his analysis of the commons went on to stimulate enormous interest among social scientists. Social psychologists (Dawes, 1980; Messick & Brewer, 1983), sociologists (Kollock, 1998), and political scientists (Ostrom, 1990) alike were quick to embrace the theoretical nuances of the parable and investigate its empirical implications. Interest in the commons remains strong even today (a recent check at Google Scholar reveals over 10,000 citations to the original article). — Roderick M. Kramer, Geoffrey J. Leonardelli, Robert W.
