Taux d’actualisation et rémunération du capital

Author

  • Christian Gollier

Abstract

The recent literature provides arguments in favor of taking better account of the distant future in the evaluation of investments. This justifies using a smaller rate to discount long-term costs and benefits of public investments. However, in a decentralized economy in which the operators undertaking these investments face capital costs that are determined by financial markets, these arguments are useless to determine the remuneration of these capital costs.
