Investigate Social Discount Rate for Selective Countries

vida varahrami

Abstract


For correct allocation resources to social projects, to survey the distribution of welfare is so important. Therefore in this paper, I investigate “e” as social discount rate. If we estimate "e" correctly, then recourse allocation between countries will be so well and all of countries in world will reach to economic growth. In this paper, I use from a tax method and estimate social discount rate for selective countries such as India and China.
