since there is no landowner trying to maximize rent from the land, the landowner's take is available to be shared among the workers.is each worker better off in this open access arrangement? if the supply of labor is perfectly elastic and everyone has open access to the land, the worker is no better off under open access than under private property arrangements. the first workers coming onto the plot will earn a return greater than their market wage. this surplus income to a worker above his or her market wage induce "outside workers" to come in to work the land and receive the going share of product.if such entry by outside workers who enter and work the plot,the return per worker will be driven down to the market wage of 100 bushels per year.Aggregate employment will increase,but the return per worker will not.A new equilibrium emerges in which the average product of each workker equals the wage attainable in other sector of the economy. this is an open access equilibrium(see Figure 3.6)
