Abstract
This paper replies to the comment by Zaleski and Zech on my Lipford (1 995) paper, in which I examined the relationship between free riding a nd group size. In this reply, I demonstrate that my original estimate is not misspecified because of a scaling problem and argue that the ef fects of any omitted variables are likely minor, if present.
