Le modèle de contributions volontaires à la fourniture de biens publics suggéré par Bergstrom, Blume et Varian (1986) prédit qu'il y aura des accroissements dans la fourniture de biens publics à proportion que la répartition des revenus devient plus inégale. Les auteurs ont testé ce modèle en laboratoire. Le comportement du groupe se conforme au modèle mais pas le comportement de l'individu. Les individus qui ont de faibles revenus sur-contribuent au bien public; les individus dont les revenus sont élevés sous-contribuent. |
