Abstract: 
We study properties of collective action problems bounded by minimal contributions as well as endowment and variable contributions are neighbourhood dependent. We relate nearness to non-interior agents and its implication for interior contribution. Here, we see the aspects of node distance to non-interior agents which have implications for interior agents. Endowments may be redistributed among agents. We highlight strict conditions for budget-balanced transfers for which neighbourhood contributions and individual residual consumption are invariant. Agents may or may not be concerned about neighbourhood outcomes. We find that welfare is self-correcting and neither cases are relevant to the overall welfare impact of neutral transfers.
