The Economics of Globally Shared and Public Goods responds to an
urgent need to consolidate and refine the economic theories and
explanations pertinent to globally shared resources. Making a clear
distinction between theories and empirical models, it elucidates

from behavioral economics. Its comprehensive and technical review
of existing theoretical models and their empirical results
illuminate those models in practical applications. Relevant for
economists and others working on challenges of globally shared
goods such as climate change and global catastrophes, The Economics
of Globally Shared and Public Goods provides a path toward greater
co-operation and shared successes.
