Abstract

This paper explores the effect of communal resources on social capital and moral boundaries. I conduct a survey to compare individuals from a town where communal lands have persisted since medieval times with individuals from neighboring-similar towns. I find that individuals exposed to communal lands -and their associated institutions- have higher local social capital as they trust their neighbors more, have more local altruism, are more interested in local politics, and have a better knowledge about the town’s politics and history. Importantly, the effect is only observed in individuals with family roots in the town, and there is no evidence of an effect beyond the local community, suggesting a relatively particularist morality.
