G. g. cable TV institutional arrangements can be examined at multiple levels—operational and collective choice (rules for making rules) levels. Although Ostrom (2009) worked with experiments to study game theory models in the laboratory, she also documented the immense variety of rules that are used by people in the world. The framework was also used when she and her co-workers conducted a meta-analysis—to systematically learn from diverse studies of the commons. In her Nobel lecture, Ostrom (2009) said that she and her colleagues found that the focus on two organizational forms—the state and the market—did not do justice to the wide variety of institutional arrangements that humans design.

4 Regression Models and Causality 27 Somanathan and co-authors used regression and matching to establish the effects of management regime on forest stock. In Chap. 6, we discuss the causal issues that arise while studying carbon storage and livelihoods. In Chap. 7, we see two applications that use the method of instrumental variables to overcome simultaneous causation bias. 5 The Institutions and Development Framework Vatn (2005) distinguishes between three different kinds of institutions: conventions, norms and formally sanctioned rules.
