  • In P. 6, line 6: “of” is deleted before the word “rats”.

  • In P. 14, reference “An Economic Theory of Clubs. Economica 32: 1–14” for Buchanan, J.M. 1964 is updated as “What Should Economists Do? Southern Economic Journal 30: 213–222.” and in the next reference the author name “Buchanan, James M. 1958” is changed to “Buchanan, J.M. 1958”.

  • In P. 14, the references are rearranged and it should read in the order as Buchanan, J.M. 1958; Buchanan, J.M. 1959; Buchanan, J.M. 1964; Buchanan, J.M. 2007.
