Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A collective, or public good is a type of good that benefits everyone in a community or society and cannot be easily excluded or restricted. This is because once the good is provided, it is generally available to all individuals to consume or use, regardless of whether they paid for it or not. Examples of public goods include clean air, national defense, and public parks. Free riders are individuals who benefit from public goods without paying for them, which can create a problem for the provision and sustainability of the good. Exported goods and commercial goods do not necessarily benefit everyone or cannot be easily excluded.
