Club good

Club goods (also known as collective goods or artificially-scarce goods) are a type of good in economics, sometimes classified as a subtype of public goods that are excludable but non-rivalrous, at least until reaching a point where congestion occurs.

Examples of club goods would include private golf courses, cinemas, cable television, access to copyrighted works, and the services provided by social or religious clubs to their members.

	Excludable	Non-excludable
