SAMUELSON’S CONDITION :
“a public good is optimally
provided when the cost to
society of an additional unit
of the good equals the
amount that society is
willing to pay for that unit”
Alternative methods to finance GPGs:
SUBSIDIES (as an aid to developing countries)
COMPENSATIONS (on the purposes of biodiversity
conservation)
DIRECT PAYMENTS (contributions to the regular
budgets of the main multilateral organizations)
PRIVATE – PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP
(encouragement in research focused on disease of
poor people)
