We show that as populations get large, and with selfish preferences, the level of contributions converges to the one given by voluntary contributions. With altruistic preferences (of the warm glow type), the contributions converge to a level strictly higher than those given by voluntary contributions, even though in general they do not yield first-best levels.application/octet-streamapplication/octet-streamapplication/pdfengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaLotteriesPublic goodWarm glowEfficiencyAn impure public good model with lotteries in large groupsworking paperD64H21H41Economíaopen accessDT/0000000885we1107
