在某种政府保护的制度环境中，个人寻求财富转移的活动，或者追求非生产性利润的活动被称为( )。
A．寻租
B．政府失灵
C．搭便车
D．设租
参考答案：A
解析： 寻租是指人们凭借政府保护而进行的寻求财富转移的活动或者追求非生产利润的活动。政府失灵，是指个人对公共物品的需求在现代化议制民主政治中得不到很好的满足，公共部门在提供公共物品时趋向于浪费和滥用资源，致使公共支出规模过大或者效率降低，政府的活动或干预措施缺乏效率，或者说政府做出了降低经济效率的决策或不能实施改善经济效率的决策。搭便车是指不付成本而坐享他人之利。设租是指政府行动超出保护财产权、人身和个 * * 利、保护合同履行等范围，政府分配介人经济活动，导致寻租活动的行为。故选A。
