The public good nature of national parks

.

Chapter 5 in Public Sector Entrepreneurship, 2022, pp 49-52 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: National parks have public good characteristics. A basic principle that underlies the economics of public goods is that the pricing of a pure public good is inefficient because a price would ration the use of the public good which is by its nature non-excludable. A case is presented why national parks, which having public good characteristics, is not a pure public good, and thus further pricing of the entrance to a national park is not inefficient.
