	Free rider problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because the notion of 'fairness' is controversial, free riding is usually only considered to be an economic "problem" when it leads to the non-production or under-production of a public good, and thus to Pareto inefficiency, or when it leads to the excessive use of a common property resource.
		A common example of a free rider problem is defense spending: no person can be excluded from being defended by a state's military forces, and thus free riders may refuse or avoid paying for being defended, even though they are still as well guarded as those who contribute to the state's efforts.
		Free riding is also a term used by brokerages when a client purchases shares beyond his or her means.

		free riders in a system of fair exchange or sacrifice dates back before we had a word for them.
		When we choose to enfranchise free riders, we generally do so because we desire the level of civilization is gives us or because we want to perceive that we live in a civilization so robust it can be generous.
		But all the answers for solving the free rider problem online are so egregious they involve destroying what the internet fundamentally is to solve a problem that is less damaging than it has been in any other sphere of human interest or history.

	PSI \| The Free-Rider Problem - full version
		Free riders are people who avoid paying for things because these things are ‘non-excludable’ — they are available to everyone, whether or not they have paid.
		The extent to which the presence of free riders is actually experienced as a problem by union members and activists, and therefore the importance which union security practices have in each country, depends on the history and traditions of trade unionism in each country.
		Unfortunately the academic debate on the union free rider problem is rather specialized, both in its approach (drawn overwhelmingly from labour economics) and its subject matter (workers and employers in the USA).

	Public good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the other hand, the free rider knows that he or she cannot be excluded from the benefits of national defense, regardless of whether he or she contributes to it.
		So the free rider would not voluntarily exert any extra effort, unless there is some inherent pleasure or material reward for doing so (such as, for example, money paid by the government, as with an all-volunteer army or mercenaries).
		While the purchase of all potential free riders may solve the problem of underproduction due to free riders in smaller markets, it may simultaneously introduce the problem of underproduction due to monopoly.

	Free 'Knight Rider'! eWEEK - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A while back, in a column advocating the end of broadcast television, I bemoaned the absence of "Knight Rider" on television—broadcast, cable, satellite or otherwise—but wrote that the absence of David Hasselhoff's epic adventure show would have to remain fodder for some future column.
		By that measure, "Knight Rider" would still be under protection, anyway, and I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for a return to 28-year copyright terms.
		And then, some time near the 22nd century, when the copyright has run out and the characters and concept of "Knight Rider" are in the public domain, maybe nothing happens.

	The View From 1776
		In two respects, the Kyoto Protocol is an economic free rider situation: in both respects, the United States is expected to pay the price, while other nations reap the benefits.
		This, of course, is free riding, because these practitioners of scientism contribute nothing to science.
		Second, from the standpoint of international socialism, the intent was to give the less-developed nations a free ride at the expense of the United States; redistribute American wealth to the “workers of the world,” and all of that clap-trap of collective solidarity.

	Anti-State.com : Mutual Defense and The Free Rider, by John W. Goes
		Although I am not satisfied with Birch's claim that he solved the free rider problem, I don't think it can be denied that his system has been the most successful attempt to meet it.
		As many others have suggested, the free rider problem doesn't seem to be devasting.
		While all states might wish destruction to the society, there doesn't seem to be much incentive to be the one to initiate war just for the sake of ending the experiment in anarchy.

	IDA - Free Rider
		The term “free riding” is used here as shorthand to refer to situations in which IDA’s debt relief or grants could potentially cross-subsidize lenders that offer non-concessional loans to recipient countries.
		It is a major concern because it could undermine the ability of countries to achieve long-term debt sustainability, thereby undoing the benefits of IDA grants and debt relief.
		In order to identify instances of non-concessional borrowing, IDA is using a definition of minimum concessionality that is based on a minimum grant element of at least 35 percent or higher if a higher minimum concessionality level is required as part of a country’s ongoing IMF arrangement.

	The Free Rider Issue: an Objectivist view
		In mainstream academic writing, both in ethics and in economics, free riding is regarded as a serious problem.

	Jane Mansbridge Kennedy School Insight
		Q: In your work you describe the “free rider problem,” a concept of game theory, which arises when individuals are confronted with a good — like law and order or clean air — from which many will benefit whether or not they have contributed to that good.
		Mansbridge: Understanding the logic of the free rider problem is a discovery as world-changing in its importance as discovering the logic of supply and demand.
		The implication in discovering the logic of supply and demand is that self-interest can really help the world go round, and it can; it was a very important insight which then really helped market societies happen.
