This state-of-the art collection of papers analyses various aspects of the theory of
externalities and public goods. The contributions employ new analytical techniques like the
aggregative game approach and discuss the philosophical underpinnings of the theory.
Furthermore they highlight a range of topical empirical applications including climate policy
and counterterrorism. This contributed volume was written in memory of Richard C. Cornes a
pioneer in the theory of externalities and public goods.
