Non-excludable goods in economics are goods where it is not possible for one individual or group to prevent the use of the good by other individual or group.
Among rival goods, an example is fish found in the ocean. Among nonrival goods, in example is a mathematical discovery.[1]
Goods which are non-excludable and non-rival are public goods.
