Equity as a Prerequisite for Stable Cooperation in a Public-Good Economy - The Core Revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the relationship between an equitable distribution of the cost shares in public-good provision and the core property of an allocation on the other hand and show that it is an inhomogeneous distribution of cost shares that motivates some coalition of agents to separate and to block an initially given Pareto optimal allocation which can be interpreted as the outcome of a negotiation process when all agents form a grand coalition.
