Abstract

This paper expounds a new approach to the analysis of public good and open access resource models, developed in a series of recent papers by Cornes and Hartley, and considers the applicability of this approach to modeling current environmental problems. I look at a number of possible extensions of the framework, survey recent applications to environmental problems, and suggest further possible lines of enquiry.
