چکیده:
Determining prices and pricing policies is an important issue that is discussed and examined both in jurisprudential and narrative texts and in the science of economics. This article, with an interdisciplinary approach, attempts to examine government pricing of goods and services from the two epistemological fields of jurisprudence and economics and from a specific horizon. The main goal of the article is to prove the impermissibility of government pricing even under conditions of hoarding and monopoly. However, to complete the discussion and gain insight, it also studies a valid understanding of the nature of price and the position of prices in the economic system.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Economic enterprises, in conditions where prices are determined in a competitive market, are compelled to reduce costs to increase their profitability and competitive power, and for this purpose, they are constantly seeking to discover new methods to produce higher quality products using less and cheaper raw materials, which will lead to the efficient use of production factors.
However, since the market mechanism alone is not capable of meeting all social objectives and, in cases such as public goods, does not have the necessary economic efficiency, the principle of government intervention to control and guide prices has generally been accepted.
1 The former Minister of Commerce of Iran says: The public perception is that the government, as the guardian of the people, has the duty to monitor 70,000 items of goods and services available in the market; but we say that the issue of price is an economic matter that has secondary effects on the behavior of consumers, producers, optimal allocation of production factors, and investment.
With a general certainty regarding their issuance, it can be said that in conditions where price increases have arisen due to natural factors and the real contexts of commodity supply, the government has no right to set prices at a level lower than the market price; because such an action is, in fact, an injustice to the producer and harmful to the production flow.
