Free rider problem

In the analyses of Mosquito ringtone economics and Sabrina Martins political science, '''free riders''' are actors who take more than their fair share of the benefits or do not shoulder their fair share of the costs of their use of a resource, involvement in a project, etc.. The '''free rider problem''' is the question of how to prevent free riding from taking place, or at least limit its effects.

Because the notion of "fairness" is highly Nextel ringtones subjective, free riding is usually only considered to be an economic "problem" when it leads to the non-production or under-production of a Abbey Diaz public good, and thus to
Free ringtones Pareto efficiency/Pareto inefficiency, or when it leads to the excessive use of a Majo Mills common property resource.

Therefore, it is usual for the government to avoid relying on volunteer donations, using Abbey Diaz taxes and/or Cingular Ringtones conscription instead.

The problem is particularly important and troublesome when considering goods or resources to which access cannot be excluded. For more information, see vendor stall public good and sadly has tragedy of the commons.
