Matching in the Kolm triangle : interiority and participation constraints of matching equilibria
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Cornes, Richard; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2019
good economy, can also be used to provide a diagrammatical exposition of matching mechanisms and their effects on public … good supply and welfare. In particular, we describe, on the one hand, for which income distributions interior matching … equilibria result and, on the other hand, for which income distributions the agents voluntarily participate in a matching …

Matching as a Cure for Underprovision of Voluntary Public Good Supply : Analysis and an Example
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Cornes, Richard C.; Rübbelke, Dirk … - 2021
Matching mechanisms are regarded as an important instrument to bring about Pareto optimal allocations in a public good … interior matching equilibrium, however, emerges only under very special conditions. But we show in this note that corner …

Pareto improvement through unilateral matching of public good contributions : the role of commitment
Buchholz, Wolfgang; Cornes, Richard; Peters, Wolfgang; … - 2014
When providing public goods through voluntary contributions, a donor may introduce unilateral matching in order to … reduce underprovision of the public good and thus inefficiency. By itself, however, matching benefits the donor but harms the …

Pareto meets Olson : a note on Pareto-optimality and group size in linear public goods games
Pickhardt, Michael - 2011
In this paper I examine the relationship between Pareto-optimality and group size in linear public goods games or experiments. In particular, I use the standard setting of homogeneous linear public goods experiments and apply a recently developed tool to identify all Pareto-optimal allocations...

Pareto-optimality in linear public goods games
Hokamp, Sascha; Pickhardt, Michael - 2011
We derive a generalized method for calculating the total number of Paretooptimal allocations (NOPA) in typical linear public goods games. Among other things, the method allows researchers to develop new experimental designs for testing the relevance of Pareto-optimality in experimental settings,...

A few can do : ethical behavior and the provision of public goods in an agent-based model
Pickhardt, Michael - 2010
In this paper I examine the influence which a population of different behavioral types may have on the provision of public goods. In particular, the population or subject pool consists of three behavioral types: myopic selfish agents, enlightened selfish agents and ethically motivated agents. I...

A Note on Pareto Improving Lotteries in Voluntary Public Good Provision
Karaivanov, Alexander - 2004
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 players can be Pareto improving. A corollary is that an equal distribution of resources among...

Pre-negotiation Commitment and Internalization in Public Good Provision through Bilateral Negotiations
Matsushima, Noriaki - 2019
A profit-maximizing public good supplier endogenously determines the level of the public good and simultaneously negotiates with beneficiaries of the good one by one. A pre-negotiation commitment on the production level of the public good by the supplier enhances the internalization of...
