Key Concepts

Excludability

Excludability is a characteristic of a good that defines whether its producers can prevent people who have not paid for it from having access. If a good is excludable, it means that people can be prevented from using it without payment; if it is nonexcludable, then no such restriction exists and everyone has access regardless of whether they have contributed to its cost.

Rivalry

Rivalry refers to the degree to which one person’s consumption of a good reduces the amount available for others. In a rival good, consumption by one individual diminishes the quantity or quality available for others, whereas a nonrival good means that one person’s consumption does not significantly limit another’s ability to consume the same good at the same time.

Private Goods

Private goods are those that are both excludable and rival in consumption. This means that only paying consumers can obtain them and one person’s consumption of the good prevents others from consuming that same unit, making them subject to market pricing and individual consumption limits.

Public Goods

Public goods are characterized by being nonexcludable and nonrival. These goods are available to everyone without direct payment at the point of use, and one person’s consumption does not diminish how much is available to others. This often leads to challenges in funding their provision through traditional market mechanisms.
