Public Goods, Environmental Externalities And Fiscal Competition Selected Papers on Competition, Efficiency, and Cooperation in Public Economics by Harry Tulkens

The twenty-two papers collected in this volume illustrate the itinerary of Henry Tulkens, an applied theorist, on the occasion of his retirement from teaching. The collection is structured in four parts: I. Decentralized resource allocation processes for public and private goods - II. Environment, public goods and externalities - III. Efficiency analysis - IV. Fiscal competition and optimality. The four pictures above evoke a key concept, method or model used in each of these four parts: MDP-type processes to determine feasible paths to efficiency and coalitional stability - CLIMNEG World Simulation model to explore alternative environmental scenarios for the planet - Free Disposal Hull efficiency analysis to drop convexity and help deal with outliers - Non Cooperative Fiscal Equilibria to characterize the outcomes of fiscal competition.Chander, Parkash is the author of 'Public Goods, Environmental Externalities And Fiscal Competition Selected Papers on Competition, Efficiency, and Cooperation in Public Economics by Harry Tulkens', published 2005 under ISBN 9780387255330 and ISBN 0387255338.
