Do not overreach. In particular, I agree with Referee 1 that you do not solve the PFS empirical puzzle of high weights to social welfare.\r\n\r\n(Referee) In the absence of any empirical estimates, I would refrain from such strong statements. Suffice to say that the paper is providing additional insights into an empirical puzzle by tailoring the political process more carefully.\r\n\r\nAgain, (5) makes it clear that your setting is definitely not PFS, for contributions are not specified (and need be to make the comparison).
