Abstract

Limit core allocations are the ones that remain in the core of a replicated economy. An equivalent notion for economies with public goods is Schweizer s concept of club e ciency under a variable number of economic agents. We extend this notion to economies with goods that have a semi-public nature. We show that given certain conditions the equivalence of club e cient allocations and Lindahl equilibria holds for a wide range of economies with semi-public club goods. We also show that extension to a more general class of economies seems implausible.
