Lindahl Pricing and Equilibrium – Proof of Pareto Optimality A Lindahl equilibrium is a method for finding the efficient level of provision for public goods. Recall that for public goods‚ in equilibrium all agents consume the same quantity but may face different prices1. As it is framed in our textbook‚ the Lindahl equilibrium occurs when the perunit price paid by each agent sums to the total per unit cost of the public good. The Graph We start with a good ol’ fashioned demand curve for a public
