The Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods was founded in 2004. It is one of 83 institutes of the Max Planck Society (as of July 2014) and is represented there in the humanities, social and human sciences section. The institute is based in the former residence of the Egyptian ambassador in the Bonn district of Gronau ( Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 10 ).
The institute emerged from the project group Law of Common Goods, which has been working since 1997 under the direction of Christoph Engel . The project group was founded as part of the compensatory measures for the move of the federal capital to Berlin . Engel has been director since the institute was founded. The second director from April 2004 until his retirement was the economist Martin Hellwig . Hellwig's successor has been Austrian economist Matthias Sutter since 2017 . Hellwig's predecessor was the political scientist Adrienne Héritier .
The research focus of the institute is on the one hand goods that are not traded in a market economy , such as the natural foundations of life, air, water and soil. On the other hand, the institute deals with public goods , from whose supply nobody can be excluded, such as energy, waste disposal and telecommunications. The institute pursues an interdisciplinary approach: In addition to law and economics, political science and psychology are represented.
For the "JournalTouch" tool, which was introduced in mid-2014, the library of the MPI for Public Goods was awarded the 2015 "Future Shaper in Libraries" prize.
