Abstract

V originále

This publication is focused on the definition of the concept of a ‘public good’. It gives a classification of public goods according to the generally accepted definition by Samuelson and Nordhaus (2013) based on data on the production of public goods in the Czech Republic in 2013. However, the classification reveals that it is not possible to objectively incorporate the public goods produced in the Czech Republic in 2013 as public, club, merit or private. A five-degree scale ranging from the rivalry to non-rivalry of goods and from the excludability to non-excludability of goods has been chosen for the purpose of the research. Although this classification is also very subjective, it clearly reveals that the hitherto used definition of public good is not relevant. It does not enable either an objective classification or an international comparison.
