Although digital storage costs have declined sharply in the past few years, many universities and companies still have limited storage space for email and impose a fixed limit on the amount of file storage space per user. Can we view this as a common property resource problem, and do the fixed limits resolve the problem?

A. No. One person's use of the storage space does not have an impact on other people, so this is not a common property resource problem.

B. Yes. The storage space used by one person is not available to another person, and the storage limit is a type of quota that allocates the property rights to the storage space.

C. Yes. The storage space used by one person is not available to another person, and the storage limit represents a form of single-person ownership that resolves the common property resource problem.

D. This is an example of common property resource problem, but the fixed limits on storage space do not resolve the problem.

  • The correct option is B. Yes. The storage space used by one person is not available to another person, and the storage limit is a type of quota that allocates the property rights to the storage space.

Yes, imposing a fixed limit on the storage per user is a potential step to resolve the issue of common property resources as it makes the storage space rival in nature and helps to allocate the property rights to the users.
