			EM on Goods and Institutions

	Property plays a pivotal role in any commercial economy. The class will discuss the nature and origin of property, discussing classical views like Hohfeld's and Locke's in comparison with the realist perspective of Reinach. Introducing an understanding of the goods at the core of property, the class will encounter Samuelson's classic notions of 'rivalry' and 'excludability' and the subsequent debate around public goods. These may be extended to draw a basic ontology of different kinds of economic goods, following the intuitions of Elinor Ostrom and Mancur Olson. Building an ontology of economic goods is important in the normative domain as well, as institutions can be understood as different systems of rules that are tailored to facilitate the social provision of different kinds of economic goods.
