Are Private goods for new babies in family?
A private good is a product that must be purchased to be consumed, and
its consumption by one individual prevents another individual from consuming
it. Economists refer to private goods as rivalrous and excludable. A good is
considered to be a private good if there is competition between individuals to
obtain the good and if consuming the good prevents someone else from consuming
it.
A family’s income position can define whether they can buy more
private foods or not. If they can afford more private goods they should take
more babies.
