Multiple Private Goods to Finance Public Goods

We extend the seminal model by Bergstrom, Blume and Varian (1986) on the private provision of public goods to contributions given by multiple private commodities. Taking into account the proportion of the value of the aggregate endowment donated to finance the public good, we present a notion of equilibrium, show its existence, and provide a strategic market game approach. We de ne a sequence of non-cooperative games whose equilibria converge to an equilibrium for the economy. Finally, we analyze the effects that redistributions of endowments have on the equilibrium outcome, and we nd conditions that guarantee neutrality
