“…It is possible to compare in time and between countries the relative size of governments or even the efficiency of some activities, but it is not possible to say in absolute when there is excessive government. Comparing observations requires some care, especially when comparing over time, as they have to be adjusted to inflation and demographic growth (Ulbrich 2003). The most common and less disadvantageous variable to measure government size is public expenditure 4 as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).…”

“…While rent-seeking has permeated most undergraduate textbooks, the concept is not covered at all in Ulbrich (2013) and Gruber (2016). Both textbooks are public finance texts, not public economics books, which might explain part of the lack of coverage of rent-seeking.…”

In this paper we provide an overview of Tullock's work on rent-seeking in the area of economics education. After summarizing the basic rent-seeking model in both a domestic and international context, we conduct an analysis of undergraduate and graduate texts in public economics. We find a majority of undergraduate texts cover rent-seeking in depth, but two texts provide zero coverage. No graduate textbook surveyed mentions rent-seeking. We conclude by summarizing the economic education literature on rent-seeking, which can be divided into either classroom experiments or popular culture examples.

“…W naszych rozważaniach rozszerzamy zatem definicję o dobra wspólne (charakteryzujące się "rywalizacją" i "niewykluczalnością") oraz tzw. dobra merytoryczne, które mogą być dobrami prywatnymi pod względem ich cech fizycznych, ale w wyniku doktryny społecznej i polityki społecznej realizowanej przez władze publiczne są przekazywane obywatelom nawet bez ich akceptacji (Buchanan 1968;Ulbrich 2003). Zgodnie z najnowszymi koncepcjami, większość środowiskowych i społecznych dóbr publicznych jest zlokalizowana na obszarach wiejskich, a ich dostarczanie jest silnie związane z produkcją rolną.…”

The aim of the study is to create a conceptual framework for the valuation of the endogenous influence of public goods in rural areas using the new approach: the economic surplus valuation method (ESV), which implements the concept of producer and consumer rent. A distinctive feature of the ESV, compared to other market-based valuation methods is the assumption that public goods exert an endogenous impact upon resources and their productivity, but do not act in the model as exogenous variables (as it is in the case of hedonic pricing methods; the HPM). The authors’ approach limits the issues related to the specification bias within the HPM. Moreover, this manner reduces the problems associated with model specification errors in the HPM. The authors argue that ignoring the endogenous impact of public goods on resources and their productivity can lead to distorted results.
