Public good, английский
- A good (or a service) that will not be produced and delivered solely by the free market. economists call these “public goods” because the public consumes them, but they do not solely benefit a single buyer or group of buyers. there is no way to produce a public good without producing a value to society at large. it is unlikely that an individual would pay out of his or her own pocket to ensure that a public good is produced because the value is not exclusively individual.
- Общественный товар
- Public goods are simultaneously used by several parties (opposite to private goods). some public goods are fully free from rivalry in use; for others the use by some subtract from the availability for others, creating congestion. access to public goods may be restricted dependent on whether public goods are commons, state-owned or res nullius (no one’s case). the atmosphere and climate are the ultimate public goods of mankind. many renewable energy sources are also public goods. public-private partnerships: arrangements typifi ed by joint working between the public and private sector. in the broadest sense, they cover all types of collaboration across the interface between the public and private sectors to deliver services or infrastructure. quota (on renewable electricity/energy): established quotas obligate designated parties (generators or suppliers) to meet minimum (often gradually increasing) renewable energy targets, generally expressed as percentages of total supplies or as an amount of renewable energy capacity, with costs borne by consumers. various countries use different names for quotas, for example, renewable portfolio standards, renewable obligations. see also tradable certifi cates
