A free rider in a demand side programme is a participant who

  • A.participates in two programmes at once
  • B.would have taken the measure without the incentive
  • C.receives the incentive without taking the measure
  • D.takes the measure but does not claim the incentive

Answer: B

Correct answer: would have taken the measure without the incentive

A free rider collects the payment for something that would have happened anyway, so the programme spends money for no additional saving. Estimating the free rider rate is what turns a gross saving into a net one, and it is the largest single source of dispute in programme evaluation.
