QUASI-PUBLIC GOOD: A good that is easy to keep nonpayers from consuming, but use of the good by one person does not prevent use by others. Also termed a near-public good,the trick with a quasi-public good is that it is easy to keep people away, and thus you can charge them a price for consuming, but there is no real good reason to do so. From an efficiency view, the more people who consume a quasi-public good, the better off society. This mixture of nearly unlimited benefits and the ability to charge a price means that some quasi-public goods are sold through markets and others are provided by government. For efficiency's sake, none should be sold through markets.

COUPON RATE: The annual rate of return on a legal claim or financial asset (usually a bond) stated as a percent of par value. If, for example, a $100,000 corporate bond has a fixed payment of $5000 a year, then the coupon rate is 5%. The coupon rate is not necessarily, and generally is not, the same as the current yield or yield to maturity of a financial asset. See also | rate of return | legal claim | financial asset | corporate bond | par value | current yield | yield | yield to maturity |
