Abstract: Public goods provision is a topic of interest
both academically and in a policy arena. Left
solely to private decision makers, a public
good is provided at a less than optimal level. The
clear policy solution is government provision of
the good. However, even in the case of government
provision, an individual may still choose to
provide public goods, either due to the extent to
which the benefi ts from the good are captured by
the individual, or to a “warm glow” received from
contributing. Thus, when policy makers choose
provision levels, they must account for the level of
private provision; otherwise the public good may in
fact be oversupplied relative to the optimal level.
