Explanation:

Goods can be categorized into four distinct categories as show above. This distinction is based mainly on two things:

A. Excludability: Whether others can be prevented from consuming them.

B. Rivalrousness: Whether consumption reduces the availability for consumption by others.

1. Private Goods: They are both excludable and rivalrous. They have to be purchased in order to be consumed. Anyone who cannot afford it, is excluded from consuming it. Similarly, the purchase of it by one person reduces the availability for another person, proving rivalry.

2. Public Goods: They are both non-excludable and non-rival. Anyone can consume it and one person’s consumption does not reduce what is available for another person.

3. Common Resource: They are non-excludable but are rival products. They are available to be utilized by anyone but one person’s consumption will reduce what is available for another person.

4. Club Goods: These are excludable but non-rival goods. Individuals can be prevented from consuming them if they don’t purchase it, but one person’s consumption won’t impact the consumption of another person.
