Pareto Improving Lotteries and Voluntary Public Goods Provision
This paper characterizes the utility possibility frontier resulting in a model of private voluntary provision of a public good. It is shown that ex-ante lotteries over resource distributions among the agents can be Pareto improving. A corollary is that an equal distribution of resources among the agents, or any distribution where all agents contribute in equilibrium, is always Pareto dominated ...

Because the set of efficient outcomes is a function of individual preferences, a successful system must elicit information about those preferences. That desideratum, along with the fact that the information disclosed by an individual will be dictated ...

Because the marginal cost of providing direct broadcast satellite (DBS) transmission to an additional household is zero, efficient use of satellite spectrum would have a single firm transmitting each programming channel. That is, while having multiple DBS providers yields allocative efficiencies due to competition, it simultaneously leads to inefficient production. One of the services that woul...
متن کاملPotential follow-up increases private contributions to public goods.
People contribute more to public goods when their contributions are made more observable to others.
