Résumé :
|
This book presents a theorical treatment of externalities (i.e;, uncompensated interdependencies), public goods, and club goods. the new edition updates ans expands the discussion of externalities and their implications, coverage of asymmetric information, underlying gamme-theorie formulations, and intuitive and graphic presentations. aimed at well prepared undergraduates and graduate students making a serious foray into this branch of economics, the analysis should also interest professional economists wishing to survey recent advances in the field. no other single source for the range of materials explored is currently available. topics investigated include nash equilibrium, lindahl equilibria, club theory, the preference-revelation mechanism, pigouvian taxes, the commons, the coase theorem, and static and repeated games. the authors use mathematical techniques only as much as necessary to pursue the economic argument. they develop key principles of public economics that are useful for subfields such as public choice, labor economics, economic growth, international economics, environmental and natural resource economics, and industrial organization.
