"The Theory of Externalities and Public Goods: Essays in Memory of Richard C. Cornes provides a variety of state-of-the-art essays on the topics of public goods, contests, and clubs. It includes many real-world applications, such as to environmental policies and climate change. Professor Richard Cornes has had a tremendous and far-reaching intellectual influence, so it is not surprising that the book contains several outstanding contributions."
