The public good is produced by the initial endowments of the agents. We ask what happens if a 'Lindahl government' (endowment pretension mechanism) is instituted, which directly asks the agents to reveal their initial endowments. Under mild assumptions, we characterize the allocations which would be obtained by this method at undominated Cournot (Nash) equilibria, and we determine when these allocations coincide with the allocations at a voluntary contributions equilibrium.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGames Of PretensionH41Lindahl SolutionManipulation Via Hiding Of EndowmentsUndominated Nash EquilibriumVoluntary Contributions EquilibriumEquilibrium outcomes of Lindahl-endowment pretension gamesArticle2-s2.0-034582665410.1016/S0176-2680(98)00040-81622Q114915
