This scenario imposes two problems: (i) find a compensation that makes the project acceptable for the pre-determined host, and (ii) secure the budget to pay for the project and the required compensation. We use a market-like mechanism with two useful properties for this scenario: players can either contribute or request subsidies to fund the public project, and players have veto power over the desired project quantity. In our game, two players benefit from a waste incinerator, whereas the third group member, the host, is harmed if the facility is too large. We analyze the efficiency and the redistributive potential of this mechanism, with and without communication among group members. We find that the probability of positive provision did not differ with and without communication. However, average provided quantities with respect to the efficient quantity increased from 54% to 81% with communication. We also find that contributions fell below the Lindahl taxes, allowing the players who benefit from a larger facility to accrue most of the efficiency gains. The latter result is consistent with the infrequent evidence of veto threats as a bargaining strategy42 páginasPDFengOpen AccessWorking paperC92 - Laboratory, Group BehaviorH4 - Publicly Provided GoodsQ58 - Environmental Economics: Government PolicyLab experimentNIMBYLULUPublic goodsProyectos -- Estrategias de negociaciónProyectos públicos -- Bienes públicosEstrategias de negociación -- Potencial redistributivoAcceso abiertoAtribucion-NoComercial-CompartirIgual CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
