Prisingsmekanismer
Prisingsmekanismer refer to the methods by which prices of goods, services, or assets are determined in markets or controlled environments. These mechanisms guide the allocation of resources, influence behavior, and help achieve economic objectives such as efficiency, equity, and stability. In a free market context, price is typically set by the interaction of supply and demand. When supply exceeds demand, prices tend to fall, encouraging consumers to purchase more or producers to reduce output. Conversely, a shortage drives prices up, signalling producers to expand supply and consumers to reduce consumption.
Besides market forces, several structured pricing tools exist. Cost‑plus pricing adds a markup to production costs
Effective pricing mechanisms balance several goals: encouraging innovation and fair competition; preventing monopolistic exploitation; protecting consumers
