Question

a) Suppose there are two voters, El-P and Killer Mike, who need to choose how much of a public good will

be provided. Suppose that El-P's Lindahl demand curve is SE = 10????2Q and Killer Mike's is SK = 5????Q.

Recall that SE + SK = 1. What is the ecient level of public goods provision? What share of this is

paid for by El-P? Killer Mike?

b) Suppose there are three voters, Beyonce, Jay, and Becky. They need to decide whether to have low,

medium or high levels of spending on public art installations. Suppose that their preferences orderings

are as follows:

Rank Beyonce Jay Becky

1 ? ? ? ? ? M ? ? ? ? L ? ? ? H

2 ? ? ? ? ? L ? ? ? ? ?M ? ? ?M

3 ? ? ? ? ?H ? ? ? ? ?H ? ? ? ?L

Which level of public art spending wins if the election is H vs. L? L vs. M? M vs. H? Does majority

voting lead to a stable collective decision-making rule in this case?
