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 Equilbria to characterize the outcomes of fiscal competition Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
