دولت اسرافی، فرار مالیاتی و ارائه کالاهای عمومی

The paper considers the question of whether public goods should be provided by the government or through private provision. The results cast doubt upon the role of the government as a provider and suggest instead that it may be better employed as a facilitator of private provision. These arguments are strengthened if consumers can engage in tax evasion or the government is wasteful in its use of resources. The paper also reveals that tax evasion can emerge as the best response to inequitable government policy.
