Multiple Choice

(See Problem 2.) A small community has 40 people, each of whom has a wealth of $16,000. Each individual must choose whether to contribute $100 or $0 to the support of public entertainment for their community. The money value of the benefit that a person gets from this public entertainment is b times the total amount of money contributed by individuals in the community.

• B) This game has a dominant strategy equilibrium in which nobody contributes anything for public entertainment.
• C) If 40b > 1, there is a dominant strategy equilibrium in which everybody contributes.
• D) Everybody is worse off if all contribute than if nobody contributes if b > 1, but if b < 1, everybody is better off if nobody contributes.
