All "NG" Up On Clubs?: a "Bran-New Flawer" of Brennan-Flowers

Yew-Kwang Ng ()

Public Finance Review, 1981, vol. 9, issue 1, 75-78

Abstract: This article attempts to clarifv two controversial issues in the theory of clubs: (I) Abstract Is the Buchanan (Economica 1965) framework similar to the Tiebout (JPE 1956)? (2) Is the Pareto optimality condition of Ng(Economica 1973) generally applicable? Buchanan's own authoritv is invoked to give a negative answer to issue 1. A negative answer to issue 2 is refuted as being based on a misinterpreta tion of Ng's method of maximizing Pareto optimality or total net benefit ofthe whole population as that of one club.
