Public good and free riders: A case study on the example of parks for children in the City of Rijeka
The public good is any good that has characteristics of non-competition and non- exclusivity. That is a good whose benefits are not exhausted for additional user, while it is difficult or impossible to exclude non-payers from its usage. As non-payers cannot be excluded from enjoying a public good, it is difficult or impossible to collect fees for its usage. Above implies the problem of optimization of production and offer of public goods, and the need to activate beyond market mechanisms of regulation of activities of public interest.
