Furthermore, we compare these policy rules with those that follow from a non-cooperative Nash equilibrium. The results show that both global and national public goods are systematically under-provided in Nash equilibrium under such relative consumption concerns.21 pagesengpublic goodsrelative consumptioninter-jurisdictional comparisonstatuspositional goodsText
