INTRODUCTION
PUBLIC GOODS
Public good is an item whose consumption is determined by society not by individual consumers. Examples include national defense, law enforcement, parks. These goods are financed by taxes because they are created for the welfare of public. Basically the goods which can be consumed without reducing its availability to other individual and the other one is not excluded are public goods. The vice versa of these goods are private goods. A private good is a product that must be purchased to be consumed and its consumption is done by one individual. For instance, candies: the person who would be purchasing them , would be having not the person did not purchased.
A public good is an item consumed by society as a whole, for instance defense. This would be for every citizen for the country, even the person who did not pay the tax. This gives us the one characteristic of public good that is NON- EXCLUDABLE. These goods are being produced for the welfare of the whole society rather than focusing on one individual. While

But the brewery would be willing to pay the chemical factory to reduce the amount of effluent, because this will reduce the costs of brewery industry. Such a reduction in effluent may reduce the chemical industry’s profits, as the firm’s output of chemicals and the effluents are in fixed proportions and any reduction of effluent, thus, requires a reduction in output of the chemical industry. If the reduction in the brewery industry’s costs exceeds the reduction in the chemical factory’s profit, there are potential gains from trade and the original level of effluent cannot have been efficient. This observation leads to a possible solution to the externality problem presented by

Another economic concept is “Private Property”. Private Property is the right of private persons and firms to own property, land and resources. This allows businesses to own land and build what they want to build in order to successfully thrive in their work. Most of the country is privately owned by businesses, not the government. The government does have some power though, for example, a company may have to follow certain laws from OSHA, and can be shut down for disobeying laws. What this concept simply says is that anyone

What is Public Policy? According to (Merriam-Webster 2015), Public Polices are the governing policies that cover citizens, and are policies that can allow the government to stop any action that is contrary to the public good.
Public sectors are government controlled services that provide for both basic and essential needs of the general community. The content of government sectors varies between countries, however in most countries these include Police, Health care, Fire brigade, Military, Public transport etc. (PrivacySense.net, 2014).
Public policy is a system of laws that the government created for the citizens in order to maintain order. Public policy should be fair for all the citizens, however, on many occasions it is hard to accommodate for all races and social classes such as lower, middle, and upper class.
Welcome everyone to the Governor’s Conference on Economic Development, today we shall discuss some interesting topics that should deal with our economy, and how it has developed and changed over time. To do this, we first need to discuss variables that might affect the equilibrium of supply and demand, as well as how that could be desired. Then, through using the concept of consumer and producer surplus, we will introduce the efficiency of markets, costs of taxation and some benefits of international trade. We will also discuss any side effects or consequences that might prevent market equilibrium, and the government’s policies that are used to remedy the inefficiencies in markets that are caused by externalities. Finally, we will finish with learning the difference between the efficiency of our tax systems, and the equality of a tax system.

When the government gets involved and taxes goods and services, it raises revenue for the government, decreases the quantity of goods produced and consumed and therefore, both consumers and the producer of the good will pay, splitting the costs of the tax and leveling up with society’s.
Private businesses could not sell national defense to citizens and continue to stay in business, therefore is considered to be a public good. Selling defense services to those who are willing to pay for it and protecting them and not protecting those who refuse to contribute paying, could not be possible by any means. These individuals are considered as "free riders," which will not generally pay for something they can get free. That is the foremost reason national defense must be administered by the government and paid for through taxes.
Public interest is given priority. The public sector looks into the interest of the general public. The government under this economy is said to be welfare state. It introduces social insurance schemes, incurs expenditure and manages economy in the interest of general masses of the country.
Public goods are goods that are neither excludable, nor rival in consumption. Excludability means the extent the consumption of a good is limited, while rival refers to the extent the consumption of a particular good limits the consumption of others who wants to consume that particular good. However, some goods do not have both characteristics these goods are called pure public goods, meanwhile others have either of the characteristics, they can be referred to as, club goods, local public goods, common resources. Also, some goods are characterized as rival and excludable in consumption, these goods are called private goods. Also, clubs goods, local public goods are refers to as quasi-public goods, although they may seem as public goods there very nature are not pure public goods. This paper will focus more on public goods, as it will be used to explore the under supply of public goods provision (Mcnutts 1991,930). The prominent characteristics of club goods is its excludability factor, which might signify unequal distribution of the club goods, however, the club goods can be said to be somewhat rivalrous as shown in table 1, this is because club goods can create a sense of rivalry for individuals outside the club. Moreover, for individuals inside the club there might be rivalry in consumption when a point of congestion is reached. The club theory proposes several solutions to enhance the optimal provision of the club good, which includes membership fees (Bchir
