This paper investigates the impacts of productivity differentials in contributing to the public good on national welfare in the context of non-cooperative voluntary provision of a pure public good. A country with high productivity does not necessarily enjoy high welfare. Subsidizing the other country in a contribution game may lead to a strong paradoxical result, while a lump-sum transfer will lead to a weak paradoxical result. We also explore the relationship between the price of the public good and the size of an open club in a multi-club model.
