'The theory of economy deals mainly with private goods [...] Nevertheless, there are many goods which do not fall into this category' (Wilkin, 2005, p. 159). This is the reason that makes a few Polish authors interest in the theory of public goods; but, before being able to enlighten the theory, one should begin with a strong basis which is the definition; hence the idea of the article. Three main parts are shown here, starting from Paul A. Samuelson and his pure public good understanding followed with a word of its critics. As one of counterarguments to Samuelson's definition, Richard A. Musgrave's public good impurity examples are recalled. Then we continue with an abstract understanding of public good by James M. Buchanan. His idea is to call every item of public good, my public good. Hence if two people stand under the same street lamp at the same time, each of them consumes different unit of public good. Even if the way of thinking may seem to be odd, it eliminates a few significant obstacles with which Samuelson's theory could not manage. What is more, it enables its author to create the whole system of public goods' distribution, but it is a subject for another article.

The problem of quantifying public goods is one of the most complex problems related to public choice theory. We argue that the public goods constitute an isomorphic, socio-economic system which is not a “black box”. The central goal of the article is to develop a universal methodology for measuring the quantity and quality of public goods, and the efficiency of their provision in different sectors of the economy. The authors have applied the developed methodology to a study of the process of public goods provision in the Polish education sector. The empirical research bears out the theory that the supply of public goods in the education sector is determined by the structure of the local budgetary funds used for that purpose, and not only by the total amount of public spending.

The penetration of the behavioural approach to economic models and policymaking has recently become relatively widespread. It has also affected the area of financing and provision of public goods, as in the current economically complex situation brought forward also the question whether public goods and services can also be financed by the private sector. The aim of the article is to provide an overview of alternative mechanisms of financing of public goods with a particular emphasis on the voluntary contribution mechanism (VCM) and explain which factors motivate people to voluntarily contribute to the financing of publicly beneficial projects. We examine behavioural and sociological factors such as altruism, reciprocity and conditional cooperation and their relevance for the decision of individuals to contribute to financing of public goods. One of the existing alternatives is civic crowdfunding, which provides an institutional mechanism for individual voluntary contributions to publicly beneficial projects. We study also its potential and limitations.

The paper presents the results of a multicultural economic experiment executed in the Czech Republic and Russia. The experiment was focused on studying the behaviour of economic agents in a situation simulating a charitable lottery. From Dale’s (2004) experimental design, we adopted the fixed-prize lottery (raffle) structure, in which tickets are sold for chances of winning a prize. This means that the more tickets one buy, the higher probability to win he gains. We introduced a new scheme – the modified fixed-prize lottery - within which the chance of winning was equal for all contributing individuals. Our results show that such a structure is not effective, that is, that individuals contribute considerably less under the modified fixed-prize lottery than under the classic raffle.

Measuring and evaluating performance, and – even more – exploring the factors influencing performance is of key importance both in the case of business enterprises and non-profit- oriented public organizations. Wellknown economists and businessmen try to improve the measuring methods. Measuring the fufilment of requirements regarding public organizations is typically made by analysing the financial management, but obviously it is not enough. The objective of the public sector is to create public goods which have no obvious and marketable value. Measuring the performance of man who plays a key role in value creation is important because – in addition to increasing the efficiency of the organization – he also has an important role in motivation. The paper reviews the performance measurement of staff working in the public sector organizations and, based on a survey by a Hungarian university, evaluate the attitudes of the public sector staff concerning performance evaluation.
