摘要:
It is shown if all consumers are either asymptotically satiated or strictly nonsatiated in public goods, then the core converges to the Lindahl allocations as the economy grow without bound. Asymptotic satiation implies that only a vanishing fraction of the private good is devoted to public goods production as the economy gets large. Strict nonsatiation, on the other hand, implies that essentially all of the private good is devoted to public goods production in the limit. It is interesting that these two conditions are independently sufficient for core convergence despite their completely opposite implications for the asymptotic nature of the Lindahl allocations.
