Nash-Cournot or Lindahl Behavior?: An Empirical Test for the Nato Allies
通过需求方程系统区分北约盟国在共享纯公共品或公私联合产品时的纳什-古诺与林达尔行为，对1956-1987年十个盟国数据估计联立方程，非嵌套检验支持五个盟国的纳什-古诺模型，未发现林达尔行为证据。
This paper derives systems of demand equations for distinguishing between Nash-Cournot and Lindahl behavior in a group that either shares a pure public good or an activity that provides a private and a pure public joint product. Systems of simultaneous equations are estimated based upon Nash-Cournot and Lindahl behavior for a sample of ten NATO allies for the 1956–1987 period. Nonnested hypothesis tests support the Nash-Cournot specification for five of the ten sample allies. No evidence of Lindahl behavior is found. The Nash-Cournot joint-product specification outperforms the pure public model for all sample allies.
