Public goods in directed networks

Economics Letters, 2013, vol. 121, issue 2, 160-162

Abstract: We study the provision of a public good in a social network where links are directed, i.e., the information flows one way. Our results relate, through stochastic dominance, the equilibrium outcome of such a process with the out-degree distribution of the network.
