متن کاملNon - global social contracts : A note on inefficient social institutions *
This paper explores some perverse features that can emerge when social contracts are moved from a social vacuum to a setting of social interdependence. In particular we note incentives that might exist in conjunction with externality problems that yield situations in which: (1) social contracts reduce social wealth; (2) sub-global social contracts are Pareto inferior to the absence of social co...

Yet, at the same time, diversification may increase the aggregate risk fa...
