konkurenseik

Konkurenseik is a term used in some economic contexts to describe the condition of a market where a sufficient number of firms exist, and the competitive pressures they exert on each other are strong enough to prevent any single firm from significantly influencing prices or market share. This implies that no single entity has substantial market power.

The concept of "konkurenseik" is closely related to the idea of perfect competition, although it doesn't necessarily require all the strict assumptions of that theoretical model. In a market exhibiting "konkurenseik," firms are generally price takers rather than price setters. This means they must accept the prevailing market price for their products or services.

Key characteristics often associated with "konkurenseik" include a relatively low concentration ratio, where the largest firms hold only a small percentage of the total market. There may be easy entry and exit for new firms, further contributing to competitive dynamics. Consumers in such markets typically benefit from lower prices, greater product variety, and improved quality as firms strive to attract and retain customers. The presence of "konkurenseik" is often seen as a desirable state for fostering economic efficiency and consumer welfare.
