The Difficulty of Easy Projects

چکیده
We consider binary private contributions to public good projects that succeed when the number of contributors exceeds a threshold. show for standard distributions contribution costs, valuable threshold are more likely they require contributors. Raising success reduces free-riding incentives, and this strategic effect dominates direct effect. Common intuition easier only holds cost with right tails fatter than Cauchy. Our results suggest government grants can reduce likelihood succeed. (JEL D71, H41, H81)
