The free rider problem refers to a situation in which individuals or entities benefit from a collective good or resource without contributing to its production or maintenance. In contexts where individuals can enjoy the benefits of a public good without bearing the associated costs, there is a risk that some individuals will choose to "free ride" on the efforts of others, leading to underinvestment or inefficiency in the provision of the public good.
