dc.description.abstract | This paper studies the conditions for a welfare-maximizing allocation of resources to the
production of global public goods, such as biodiversity, the global climate, the cultural
heritage, knowledge, and world peace. A global social welfare function is maximized subject
to production constraints and alternative assumptions about the possibility of international
transfers. It is shown that the desirability of global production efficiency is closely linked to
the existence of international lump-sum transfers. Global public goods are considered both as
consumption and production goods, and the theory is also applied to the issue of the
uniformity of a global carbon tax. | en |
