ABSTRACT:
Collective action by business to perfect imperfect duties can produce significant advantages. Such arrangements can decrease temptations to moral laxity, achieve greater efficiency by removing redundancies and gaps that plague uncoordinated individual efforts, gain economies of scale and achieve success where benefits can be provided only if a certain threshold of resources can be brought to bear on a social problem, solve assurance problems in which voluntary compliance by some parties depends upon their view that competitors are doing their fair share, and produce higher levels of contribution than would occur through independent action in response to imperfect duties, stimulated by the perception that there is a fair distribution of burdens of contribution among all parties involved.
