Market governance mechanism
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
Market governance mechanisms (MGMs) are formal or informal rules that have been consciously designed to change the behaviour of various economic actors - including individuals, businesses, organisations and governments - to encourage sustainable development.
Well known MGMs include fair trade certification, the European Union Emission Trading System and Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES).
MGMs, meanwhile, are not to be confused with market-based instruments, for MGMs, as a group, includes command and control regulations as well as regulatory economics. As such, MGM is a broader classification.
History
The term "market governance mechanism" was used by Baysinger and Butler in 1985 in their paper on the role of corporate law in the theory of the firm.[1] Then, Amashi et al., used the term to discuss the role of corporate social responsibility in correcting market failures.[2] And more recently, Shaping Sustainable Markets, a research initiative from the Sustainable Markets Group at the International Institute of Environment and Development, uses the term widely and have created a typology[3] to frame its work on the sustainable development impact and effectiveness of MGMs.
