| Sumario: | The writers attempt to identify “exhaustion of blocking opportunities” as a sufficient condition to decentralize all allocations in the core as competitive equilibria and to identify efficient scale as necessary and, under an assumption on endowments, sufficient for existence of competitive equilibrium and nonemptiness of the core. The assumptions that they use are less restrictive than most of club theory in three ways: convexity assumptions are avoided; the linear structure in public goods that is imposed in Lindahl equilibrium is avoided; and the assumption that private goods are essential is avoided. |
