我们在本文中的目标是研究多数表决的环境中，公共和私人的替代品共存。我们构建了一个模型，其中家庭按收入区分，并可以在公共提供的服务和私人服务之间进行选择。公共服务的资金来自所得税收入，所有公民都可以免费获得。多数投票决定税率。即使对税率的偏好不是单峰的，我们也提供了存在多数投票均衡的条件。我们用CES偏好和Dagum收入分布来说明我们的存在性结果。
Our objective in this paper is to examine majority voting in an environment where both public and private alternatives coexist. We construct a model in which households are differentiated by income and have the option of choosing between publicly provided services and private services. Publicly provided services are financed through income tax revenues and made available to all citizens at zero price. Majority voting determines the tax rate. Even though preferences over tax rates are not single peaked, we provide conditions under which a majority voting equilibrium exists. We illustrate our existence result with CES preferences and a Dagum income distribution.
