我们的论文[Berleman and Pines（19 Sl）]（BP）在Sandler和Tschirhart（1984）（ST）的《混合俱乐部：进一步观察》（Mixed Clubs：Further Observations）中受到了批评，该论文介绍了一种统一的俱乐部、地方公共物品和交通模型的方法。BP通过使用较少的限制性假设来推广这些模型，从而使一些现有的结果适应更一般的框架。特别是，BP提出了一个普遍的条件，充分融资，提供证据的可持续性的最佳结构的俱乐部的价格体系和详细说明的条件下，隔离的俱乐部系统是最佳的。ST挑战的有效性的BP的一些结果，理由是，它使用的框架是特殊的，不具有代表性的文献。特别是ST认为，B-P的模型包括一个完整的融资约束和效用函数，这不同于其他人，因此，关于平均成本定价和隔离俱乐部的可取性的结果一般是不正确的。此外，ST认为BP未能作出适当的区分可复制和不可复制的俱乐部，因此不恰当地对待俱乐部和运输系统在一个统一的framework.In下面的讨论中，我们承认，BP偏离现有文献提供了一个广义联盟现有的模型。我们澄清了俱乐部背景下的可复制性和规模回报问题，并否认施加任何全面融资限制。我们证明了同向混合俱乐部的次优性命题是一般的，并且对于ST模型也是成立的。最后，我们的俱乐部模型的应用交通的dictionary。
Our paper [Berglas and Pines (19Sl)](BP hereafter) which is criticized in ‘Mixed Clubs: Further Observations’ by Sandler and Tschirhart (1984)(ST hereafter) introduces a unified approach to the models of clubs, local public goods and transportation. BP generalize these models by using less restrictive assumptions, and thus adapt some of the existing results to the more general framework. In particular, BP suggest a generalized condition for full financing, provide proof for the sustainability of the optimal structure of clubs by a price system and elaborate on the condition under which a system of segregated clubs is optimal. ST challenge the validity of some of the BP results, on the grounds that it uses a framework which is special and not representative of the literature. In particular ST argue that B-P’s model includes a full financing constraint and a utility function which differs from others, and thus the results regarding average cost pricing and the desirability of segregated clubs are not generally correct. In addition, ST argue that BP fail to make the appropriate distinction between replicable and nonreplicable clubs and therefore improperly treat both clubs and transportation systems within a unified framework.In the following discussion, we admit that BP deviate from the existing literature by offering a generalized union of the existing models. We clarify the issues of replicability and returns to scale in the club context and deny any imposition of a full financing constraint. We prove that the proposition of suboptimality of identically mixed clubs is general and is true for the ST model as well. We conclude with a dicussion of the application of the club model to transportation.
