A family of supermodular Nash mechanisms implementing Lindahl allocations

The presence of public goods seriously challenges traditional or “natural” solutions for the allocation of private goods. Important policy questions, of whether we can rely on the market to provide optimal amounts of public goods such as air pollution, and how much we can rely on “natural” processes such as voluntary contribution to solve environmental problems, boil down to fundamental issues ...

Double implementation of Lindahl allocations by a pure mechanism

This paper considers the issue of designing mechanisms whose Nash allocations and strong Nash allocations coincide with Lindahl allocations for public goods economies when coalition patterns, preferences, and endowments are unknown to the designer. It will be noted that the mechanism presented here is feasible and continuous, and the implementation result is obtained without de®ning an arti®cia...

Continuous and Feasible Implementation of Rational-Expectations Lindahl Allocations

In this paper we consider Bayesian implementation of rational-expectations Lindahl allocations for economic environments with public goods when agents are incompletely informed about environments. We construct a continuous and feasible mechanism whose Bayesian equilibrium allocations coincide with rational-expectations Lindahl allocations. We not only allow the types of individuals to be unknow...

A note on the stability of Chen's Lindahl mechanism

There are no general theoretical results on the stability of the Lindahl mechanism introduced by Chen (2002). We show that despite not …tting the requirements of the Milgrom and Roberts 1990 stability results for supermodular games, if the Chen mechanism induces a supermodular game, then the best reply map will be a contraction. This gives us a easy to identify su¢ cient condition for dynamic s...

A Clarke tax tâtonnement that converges to the Lindahl allocation

This paper uses the Clarke mechanism to construct an incentive compatible tâtonnement process which converges to the Lindahl allocation of a public good economy. We show truth telling is an equilibrium in the infinite horizon game induced by the tâtonnement. JEL Codes: C72, D44, H41
