In a model, an uncongested digital service requires a membership code and an added user does not reduce service to others. Which category fits?

  1. private good
  2. pure public good
  3. club good
  4. common-pool resource
See the answer & why

club good

Access is excludable, while use is nonrival under the no-congestion assumption.

A little hint: A rival good is reduced for others when one person uses it; exclusion means access can be restricted.
