Abstract

We show that a simple redistribution scheme can increase the provision of public goods and that the scheme is popular. This suggests that imposed redistribution as in the mechanism by Falkinger [Falkinger, J., 1996. Efficient private provision of public goods when deviations from average are rewarded. Journal of Public Economics 62, 413-22] appeals to intuitive notions of fairness.
