Abstract

Guesnerie and Oddou [J. Econom. Theory 25 (1981), 67-91] raised the open question whether an economy, in which the production of a public good is financed via proportional taxation, has a stable structure. By means of the first example a negative answer to this question is provided. The second example shows that a stable structure may fail to exist even if all the individuals have the same initial endowments in private good.
