Additional information

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Peter Sloane who was completing a Ph. D. dissertation on the theory of public goods at the time of his tragic death.

I am indebted to Professor M. C. Kemp for encouragement and for bringing to my attention the Manning-McMillan piece and the (then) unpublished work of M. Tawada. This has subsequently appeared in Econometrica48 (1980), pp. 1005–1012. I have also had the benefit of many helpful conversations with John Haltiwanger, Bruce Hamilton, Tatsuo Hatta, Suezo Ishizawa and Hiro Kawai. Hiro Kawai and an anonymous referee emphasized the need for better exposition. I thank them all. Errors are, of course, solely mine.
