And how do these infl uence said society’s productive success? Connections among these phenomena informed much of Mancur Olson’s (1982, 1991) life-work now so foundational to the literature on redistributive politics, economic growth/prosperity, and the nature of regimes. Still a transparent simple account of how the nature of a regime determines trade-offs between transfers and public capital investment can improve the foundations and clarify anomalies present in the literature. Here we elaborate a model to address these questions and we prove, contrary to received wisdom, that redistribution can reduce or actually and unexpectedly increase supplies of public overhead capital. Redistributive taxation reduces capital productivity, which incentivizes governments to supply less. But, contrary to conventional wisdom, redistribution can also so deplete the tax base that to offset some of the loss government will actually invest more in the way of public-overhead factor inputs than would a less redistributive regime of an otherwise comparable society.","PeriodicalId":37255,"journal":{"name":"Decyzje","volume":"1 1","pages":"123-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71326403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An interest group arises when the benefits it can derive by taking collective action outweigh the cost of taking that action. The cost, in turn, is shared among the members of that interest group. In a small group, members are able to observe the actions and behavior of one another. If one member refuses to pay his share of the cost, it will have a negative impact on other members and might even undermine the group’s collective action. Therefore, members participating in small interest groups are usually obliged to pay their share of the cost in order to continue engaging in collective actions. As a group grows in size, however, it becomes increasingly easy for members to enjoy a free-ride. From the perspective of an individual in a large group who pays a tiny fraction of the total cost, it might appear that the group’s collective actions could continue even if he or she defaults on paying their share – as long as other members continue to pay theirs. So individuals in large groups might be tempted to benefit from their group’s collective actions without paying towards the cost. But once the number of these selfishly inclined members increase, it becomes impossible for the group to support itself and its actions.","PeriodicalId":37255,"journal":{"name":"Decyzje","volume":"1 1","pages":"15-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71326132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
