Voting and Equilibrium Selection in Threshold Public Goods Games

Threshold public goods games have a large number of theoretical solutions. In the first part of this thesis, the game is therefore simplified to a comparison of only two equilibria - one that provides the good and one that does not - yielding a theoretical probability of successful provision. Later chapters examine how fairness considerations, redistribution, and threshold uncertainty affect a collective decision to provide the public good. The findings are applied to the climate negotiations.
