由于准公共产品不完全具有非竞争性质,一个人对这些物品的消费可能会减少其他人对该物品的消费。为了平衡获益者与非获益者的负担,也即为了公平,政府往往不是以税收承担这些支出,而是采取类似于市场产品的供应方式,即按某种价格标准向消费者收费供应。这样,消费者必须通过付款才能获得消费权。在现实生活中,准公共产品大量存在,例如,当下中国的医疗产品、自来水、电、煤气等,就都是采取政府供给、个人付费方式来供给。对于典型的准公共产品——高速公路而言,采取谁使用谁付费的消费方式也无可厚非。 Since quasi-public goods are not completely non-competitive, consumption by one person of those items may reduce the consumption of others by others. In order to balance the burden on beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, that is, for fairness, the government often does not take these expenditures as tax revenue but instead adopts a similar supply method to market products, that is, charges the consumers according to some price standard. In this way, consumers must pay to get the right to consume. In real life, quasi-public products exist in large numbers. For example, current medical supplies, tap water, electricity and gas in China are all supplied by the government and paid by individuals. For a typical quasi-public product, the highway, it does not matter who is using whom to pay.
