Abstract

We study noncooperative models with two agents and several voluntarily contributed public goods. We focus on interior equilibria inwhich neither agent is bound by non negativity constraints, establishing the conditions for existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium.While adding-up and homogeneity hold, negativity and symmetryproperties are generally violated. We derive the counterpart to theSlutsky matrix, and show that it can be decomposed into the sum ofa symmetric and negative semidefinite matrix and another the rankof which never exceeds the number of public goods plus one. Underseparability of the public goods the deviation from symmetry is atmost rank two.
