Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-84542-719-1 (ISBN)
In this wide-ranging selection of papers, distinguished economists, public policy advisers and political theorists contribute to the debate on public goods.The studies cover topics in the conceptualization, classification and stratification of public goods. Also examined are public institutional design, global economic institutions and partnership typologies. Individual papers address the financing, regulatory, organizational and legal aspects relating to services of general interest in Europe. The dynamics of global public good production, including monopolies, patents, scientific uncertainty and market failures, are discussed. Empirical research on the state, profit and non-profit sectors is presented. Providing numerous examples of specific public goods, the contributions also highlight the impact of macroeconomic policies on provision. The book presents a broad diversity of new approaches to global public goods within the framework of mixed economies, beyond the standard economic analysis of public services.
Academics, researchers and policymakers in the area of global public goods and services will find this volume of great interest.
