Jaliyah Rose · Answer 1

a free-rider problem will exist.

Explanation:

Non-Excluded goods are public goods that cannot exclude the use of a particular individual or group of persons. As a result, it is almost impossible to limit the consumption these types of goods. The Non-excludable goods contains:

1) Common pool resources: fish stocks, timber, coal

2) Public Goods: air, national defense, television

The free rider problem is an economic phenomenon that manifests itself in the fact that the consumer of the public good tries to avoid paying it. The free rider problem arises when an individual is consciously unwilling to pay for the public good, expecting to receive benefits without any payment. One of the striking examples of the manifestation of the free rider problem that is connected to the provision of public goods is the phenomenon of evading of the citizens from paying taxes.
