Public Goods Provision: On Generalizing the Jackson–Moulin Mechanism

Yan Yu ()

Journal of Public Economic Theory, 2006, vol. 8, issue 1, 49-60

Abstract: Jackson and Moulin (1992) proposed a simple mechanism to implement a wide class of cost‐sharing rules for the provision of a binary public good. Bag (1997) generalized this mechanism to divisible public goods under the assumption of “constant marginal benefit.” This paper generalizes the Jackson–Moulin mechanism to a broader setting, including the cases of both decreasing and constant marginal benefit. Moreover, this paper shows the impossibility of generalizing the mechanism further.
