Question 18

better shot club good (partial rivalry and excludable)

Answer 18

efficient supply (BSL-4 laboratory)

Question 19

supporting factors for subsidiarity

Answer 19

matching economic/political domains=good’s marginal cost with recipients marginal benefits, limits tax spillovers to nonbeneficiaries, reduces # of participants/repeated interactions, supports evolution of institution, avoids “mission creep” of global institutions

Question 20

detracting factors for subsidiarity

Answer 20

economies of scale favor larger jurisdiction, if goods’ spillover ranges differ and large enough economies of scope need 2 or more goods loses its’ sway, economies of learning may require oversized jurisdiction, there may not be an institution for subsidiarity, best/better shot tech may favor pooling beyond what jurisdiction of subsidiarity agrees with, or may require a larger political jurisdiction of the subsidiarity to work
