Which of the following is NOT an example of a public good? a. shopping malls b. National parks C. Highways d. Municipal libraries

a. shopping malls

Explanation:

The public good is that which, for the most part, belongs to the government and is kept with public money, that is, from taxes paid by taxpayers. These goods may be held by the federal, state and municipal governments, each in its own sphere of activity. On a much smaller scale, there are also public goods provided and maintained by private entities. Thus, it is understood that it is a non-exclusive good, of an egalitarian and non-divisible character.

A shopping mall is an exclusive good, not owned by the government and not kept with public money, so we can conclude that a shopping mall is not a public good.

A. Shopping Malls

Public Goods are commodities or services that are provided without profit to all members of a society, either by the government or a private individual or organization.
