Abstract

This note corrects an analytical mistake of Jayaraman and Kanbur (1999) in their analysis of a Stackelberg game of the voluntary contribution to an international best-shot public good by a donor and a recipient. It shows that, depending on players' preferences, the donor may choose not to contribute but make a positive direct income transfer to the recipient who will then contribute to the best-shot public good.
