Why praise inequality? Public good provision, income distribution and social welfare
Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2009
We consider a two-person Cournot game of voluntary contributions to a public good with identical individual preferences, and examine equilibrium aggregate welfare under a separable, symmetric and concave social welfare function. Assuming the public good is pure, Itaya, de Meza and Myles (Econ....
