description The theory of second best, as originally conceived by Meade (1955) and popularized by Lipsey and Lancaster (1956), has been a much discussed topic for quite some time now. Second best rules have been devised for a number of situations, but very little has been done in terms of trying to get a feel for the magnitudes that may be involved. This paper intends to make a crude and tentative first step in this direction in the interest of making a similarly crude and tentative evaluation of the policy measures that the theory of second best might suggest.
