AN IMPLEMENTABLE STATE-OWNERSHIP SYSTEM WITH GENERAL VARIABLE RETURNS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In this paper, we formalize an implementable state-ownership institutional framework for public goods economies by using the Generalized Ratio equilibrium that yields Pareto-efficient and individually rational allocations and that allows for general variable returns. We then address the problems created by manipulative behavior on the part of individuals and study the implementability of this social choice rule by giving an incentive compatible and well-behaved mechanism whose Nash allocations coincide with Generalized Ratio allocations.
