Group Size and the Free-Rider Hypothesis: A Re-examination of Old Evidence from Churches: Comment

Peter A Zaleski and Charles E Zech

Public Choice, 1996, vol. 88, issue 3-4, 407-11

Abstract: This paper comments on a recent study by J. Lipford (1995) which rejects the hypothesis of free ridership. This paper contends that Lipford's analysis suffers from two serious misspecification errors. A reexamination of Lipford's results suggests that free ridership could occur. Other hypotheses, however, are also consistent with the new results. Copyright 1996 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
