There is, in that you can buy game time with ISK from a player who sells their game time for ISK. But all game time is still paid for in real money by someone, so there's never ISK entering or leaving the economy through this model.

As with other subscription games with a F2P option tacked on later, the F2P option is very, very restricted. A handful of available ship types and skills, and the skill limits heavily restrict how efficient you can be economically.

So I don't think there will be a lot of competition created by free accounts. But more players playing EVE will increase the overall ISK generation rate in the universe a little bit, so you might see some mild inflation.
