Abstract

When grants are allocated from higher to lower levels in multilevel systems of government, multiple objectives associated with individual and collective welfare must be taken into account. A simple model, corresponding both to multilevels and to multiobjectives, for environmental problems is formulated in order to consider the role of intergovernmental grants explicitly. It is shown, through a case study of the model, that grant allocation plays a very important role in the case of environmental problems.
