Abstract
Unit prices of publicly provided goods often differ for social reasons. Examples range from cheaper railway or local bus tickets for retired people, students or scholars, to lower basic fees for the telephones of lower income people; from different prices for 1st and 2nd class railway tickets to lower hospital or school fees for lower income people.
I gratefully acknowledge discussions on an earlier draft of this paper by Martin S. Feldstein, Gabor Gyarfas, Richard A. Musgrave and by some members of the Boston Public Enterprise Group, mainly Leroy P. Jones and Ingo Vogelsang.
