Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A quasi-public good, also known as a club good, is a type of good that is non-rival in consumption (meaning multiple individuals can consume the good without diminishing its availability) but excludable (meaning it is possible to exclude non-paying individuals from consuming the good). This differs from a public good, which is non-excludable (meaning it is impossible to exclude anyone from consuming the good) such as national defense or clean air.
