Public-Economics-Scholarly-

 The obvious starting point for any application of the theory of public goods is the original contribution by Paul Samuelson (1954, 1955). His classic papers contain few explicit references to the jurisdictional framework during which decisions about public goods provision are assumed to require place, but a natural interpretation is that he primarily had in mind the nation-state. However, it's also an inexpensive assumption that he saw the idea as being applicable to many sorts of jurisdictional frameworks. Such applications in later years have mainly been within the area of local public goods and native public finance. Only recently has the eye of economists been turned to goods that are public in regard not only to the population of a specific country, but with reference to the planet population as an entire . The qualitative properties of the worldwide environment offer perhaps the foremost obvious samples of such goods, but there are many others. Knowledge is a clear and important example, while public health is another public good with important international dimensions. At the institutional level, important samples of global public goods are institutions required to market world peace and international security or to sustain the worldwide free enterprise .
