Trans-boundary commons in infectious diseases
从经济学角度分析传染病等全球健康威胁的跨界公共品属性,探讨如何设计干预措施引导国家和机构行为以最大化全球福祉。
Emerging threats to global health, including drug-resistant pathogens, emerging pandemics, and outbreaks, represent global trans-boundary commons problems where the actions of individual countries have consequences for other countries. Here, we review what economic analysis can offer in countering these problems through the design of interventions that modify the behaviour of institutions and nations in the direction of greatest global good.
