Public goods, club goods, and the measurement of crowding

Abstract

This paper shows that some frequently used measures of the degree of publicness of publicly provided goods and club goods are seriously affected by metrization problems. The paper proposes measures that do not depend on arbitrary metrization conventions, and discusses the relationship of these measures to the question of private provision and optimal club size.
