About: Collective action theory

An Entity of Type: WikicatTheories, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The collective action theory was first published by Mancur Olson in 1965. Olson argues that any group of individuals attempting to provide a public good has difficulty doing so efficiently. On the one hand individuals have incentives to "free-ride" on the efforts of others in certain groups and on the other hand the size of a group is of high importance and difficult to optimally determine.
