Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the Marginal Per Capita Return (MPCR) increases from 0.25 to 0.75, it means that each individual's contribution to the public good is more valuable to themselves and others. This typically leads to higher contributions to the public account (A) because individuals see a greater return on their contributions, reduced free-riding (C) because the incentive to rely on others' contributions decreases with higher MPCR, and lower contributions to the private account (D) as individuals allocate more to the public good. Therefore, greater free-riding (B) is unlikely as the higher MPCR makes contributing more attractive.
