Anonymous Lindahl pricing in a Tiebout economy with crowding types

The 'crowding types' model of a local public goods economy makes a distinct ion between crowding effects and tastes of agents. Decentralization of the core is possible both with anonymous admission prices that depend only on p ublicly observable information and, when technology is linear, with Lindahl (per unit) prices. Lindahl price systems are superior to admission prices, since they can be specified with only a finite number of prices. Here, we show that the core is equivalent to the set of non-anonymous Lindahl equili bria, even with non-linear technology. The core is generally larger, howeve r, than the set of anonymous Lindahl equilibria.
