Welfare-optimal status planning of minority languages : an economic approach
Wickström, Bengt-Arne - 2011
We analyze normatively determined distributions of language rights in multilingual settings. It is shown in a welfare-maximizing model where rights today influence the status of a language in the future, that the "naive" ex ante cost-benefit analysis has to be augmented in various directions....
