Free riding by A In Nash Equilibrium: B: Creates a park of size 4 A: Does not contribute at all and uses the park created by B Free riding by A Size of the park (General rule)

Free Market Supply

Pareto efficient outcome Mayor maximizes welfare of both A and B

Underprovision of public Efficient size of Park: 6 Underprovision of public good Public good: positive externality (Pareto) optimal size (General Rule)

Socially optimal supply
