Abstract: | Weisbrod has argued that if government provides some public good, unsatisfied high demanders will make themselves better off by voluntarily providing this public good. This essay shows that this claim is not necessarily true if the levels of governmental and voluntary provision are determined simultaneously. In such a setting, a high demander may be worse off compared to the situation in which the government alone provides the public good. |
