Un prix efficient sur le plan économique est celui qui serait imputé dans un marché parfaitement concurrentiel. Dans un tel marché, il y a de nombreux acheteurs et vendeurs qui disposent de tous les renseignements sur le prix et le coût d'un article. Ils sont aussi familiers avec les produits de substitution et ceux qui sont complémentaires. De plus, les prix de tous les produits tiennent pleinement compte de l'ensemble des coûts externes et des avantages. 3, record 1, French, - march%C3%A9%20parfaitement%20libre
