Abstract: We study the conformal metrics on $R^{2m}$ with constant Q-curvature $Q$ having finite volume, particularly in the case $Qleq0$. We show that when $Q<0$ such metrics exist in $R^{2m}$ if and only if $m>1$. Moreover we study their asymptotic behavior at infinity, in analogy with the case $Q>0$, which we treated in a recent paper. When Q=0, we show that such metrics have the form $e^{2p}{g}_{R^{2m}}$, where $p$ is a polynomial such that $2leqdegpleq2m-2$ and $su{p}_{R^{2m}}p<+infty$. In dimension 4, such metrics are exactly the polynomials $p$ of degree 2 with $li{m}_{|x|o+infty}p(x)=-infty$.
