Some ways to deal with free riders:
- Property rights must be clearly defined and imposed.
- Must impose external cost for example for the ecosystem
services.
- Taxations.
- Presentation of environmental degradation by proper government
regulations.
- Taxations.
- Linking public goods to desirable private goods.
- Voluntary payment for public goods and services
Two areas where free rider's is a problem are:
- They are common in shared resource systems were all the users
deplete and spoil the resources through their actions
- Free riders in markets have become very common as the markets
have dropped productivity of public goods because of the free
ridersr attempts to use the public goods without paying for the
them.
