ikkemarkedsbaserte

Ikkemarkedsbaserte is a Norwegian adjective used to describe policies, institutions, or actions that do not rely primarily on market-based allocation of resources. In this sense, decisions are guided by non-price mechanisms such as government planning, regulatory rules, or direct provision of goods and services rather than by price signals in a free market.

The term is common in economics, public administration, and political science. Common forms of ikkemarkedsbaserte arrangements include central planning, state ownership or control of key industries, and public provisioning of services such as healthcare and education. Other examples are price controls, subsidies, and regulatory regimes that allocate resources or influence behavior without relying on market prices.

Non-market-based approaches are often discussed in relation to market failures, public goods, externalities, and distributional aims. They can complement markets by providing essential services, addressing inequities, or governing strategic sectors. However, they may also entail risks such as inefficiency, bureaucratic inertia, and reduced responsiveness to consumer preferences if they are poorly designed or implemented.

Overall, the concept underscores that not all economic or social outcomes arise from voluntary exchange and pricing in markets; government policies, institutional arrangements, and organizational decisions can play a central role in resource allocation and incentive structures.
