Abstract
It is shown that a large set of public good supply levels that arise in a Pareto optimal allocation can also be attained as public good provisions in the Nash equilibrium of a non-cooperative provision game. With a not very far-fetched assumption on agents’ preferences this result even holds for all Pareto supply levels.
