Individuals, or groups of individuals, could have an incentive according to thepublic goods that could be provide but the potential users of these good are not willing to pay forthem and everyone wants to enjoy them, and not only some individuals or some groups ofindividuals(ex : public benches, public playgrounds…)In order to reach an efficient level of publicgoods the government can find funds by raising the taxes : by using this way everyone can financiallycontribute for these public goods.Prompt :“Discuss nonprofits in the context of public goods and externalities. What is the economicjustification for the existence of nonprofit firms? Compare the models of nonprofits presented in thischapter and consider the efficiency of nonprofits.
