Sommario/riassunto

De opdracht voor deze tekst is gegeven door de projectgroep Markt, staat en samenleving van de WRR. Een aantal externe auteurs werd gevraagd in detail te beschrijven hoe het afstemmingsproces van vraag en aanbod in praktijk werkt. In tegenstelling tot de theorie, vraag en aanbod, prijs en kwaliteit gebeuren niet automatisch; dit werpt een tweede vraag op, namelijk welke rol de overheid in dit proces speelt. De serie WRR-webpublicaties omvat studies die in het kader van de werkzaamheden van de WRR tot stand zijn gekomen. De verantwoordelijkheid voor de inhoud en de ingenomen standpunten berust bij de auteurs.
