DESCRIPTION:This paper provides novel evidence on the mechanisms driving th
 e combination of poor-quality public services and high prevalence of non-pa
 yment (free riding) in low- and middle-income countries. We implement a fie
 ld experiment in the slums of two major Indian cities and in the context of
  a fee-funded public service provided by community toilets. Collecting orig
 inal surveys\, behavioural and objective measurements\, we show that an exo
 genous boost in the maintenance quality of the service improves delivery an
 d reduces free riding in a static and dynamic way\, but excludes a share of
  residents from using the service. Providers react strategically to externa
 l rewards by shifting their efforts towards monitoring activities. Excluded
  users are forced to dispose human waste in common-property\, generating la
 rge health externalities. Residents demand more public intervention in the 
 service provision.\\n\\nContact: Timothée Demont : timothee.demont[at]uni
