Article history: Received 27 November 2007 Available online 8 November 2008 JEL classification: C73 D71 We analyze the coordination problem of agents deciding to join a group that uses membership revenues to provide a discrete public good and excludable benefits. The public good and the benefits are jointly produced, so that benefits are valued only if the group succeeds in providing the public...

We address the coordination problem of individuals deciding to join an association that provides a public good and selective benefits to its members, when ability of the association to fulfill its purposes depends on membership size. In a global game formulation, we show that a unique equilibrium with non-trivial membership exists, and we perform meaningful comparative statics. A unique equilib...
متن کاملAnonymous Authentication of Membership in Dynamic Groups
We present a series of protocols for authenticating an individual’s membership in a group without revealing that individual’s identity and without restricting how the membership of the group may be changed. In systems using these protocols a single message to the authenticator may be used by an individual to replace her lost key or by a trusted third party to add and remove members of the group...
متن کاملConstructive membership in black-box groups
We present an algorithm to reduce the constructive membership problem for a black-box group G to three instances of the same problem for involution centralisers in G. If G is a simple group of Lie type in odd characteristic, then this reduction can be performed in (Monte Carlo) polynomial time.

It has the ability to authenticate membership and is robust to cope with the variations of both the group size and the group member of membership.
