Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Selective incentives are rewards or benefits offered exclusively to members or supporters of an interest group to overcome the collective action problem, where individuals may not have sufficient incentive to act for the benefit of the group as a whole. Examples of selective incentives include discounts on products, exclusive access to events, and personalized newsletters. Public goods, public incentives, selective service, and primary rewards do not accurately describe the rewards or benefits offered by interest groups.
