Arthur Cecil Pigou (* 18 November 1877 in Ryde, Isle OF Wight, England; "† 7. March 1959 in Cambridge) was an English economist. It is considered as a representative of the Cambridger school of the Neoklassik and made themselves in the well-being travel, economic situation and Geldtheorie a name.

Life

Pigou presented the concept of the Pigou tax designated after it, with which the environmental pollution can be contained to 1912. It represented the idea of the progressive tax, which it - like also Francis Edgeworth - justified with the sinking marginal utility of the income.

Pigou led extensive discourses with Keynes.
