反垄断中价格协同行为的认定及其规制逻辑

    Legal Cognizance and Regulation of Price Concerted Practice in Anti-monopoly

    • 摘要: 囿于反托拉斯法的巨大威慑力,市场主体很少采用公开的协议型或决议型卡特尔,而是尽可能地隐匿信息交流,通过精心的设计来达成"地下卡特尔",这也使协同行为的认定和规制成为竞争法上的难题。波斯纳等学者主张抛开主观方面而依赖客观的"经济学证据"来证明协同行为。经济学上的寡头依赖性理论、分析哲学上奥利弗·布莱克的逻辑分析、法学上的协同合意特殊性论证,都说明协同行为的认定及规制不能"绕开"主观因素。聚焦于主观方面,通过对信息交流的类型化分析和效率权衡,建构以"信息"为要义的规制逻辑,可能是对抗协同行为的有效路径。反垄断法对协同行为的规制应保持谦抑性,需要与价格法等部门法相互配合。

       

      Abstract: Confined by the huge deterrent of antitrust law,market players rarely used overt protocol cartel or resolution cartel,while they elaborately developed ‘underground cartel’ and struggled to hide information communication. Thus,cognizance and regulation of price concerted practice becomes a conundrum in competition law. Posner and other scholars proposed that the existence of concerted practice should be proved by objective economic evidence,regardless of subjective aspects. However,the theory of oligopolistic interdependence in economics,‘Oliver Black’ logic analysis in analytic philosophy and the legal demonstration for the particularity of "meeting of the minds" in concerted practice,all illustrated that the cognizance of price concerted practice must adhere to the subjective aspects. Focusing on subjective aspects,through the type analysis and efficiency balance of information behavior,this article tried to establish the regulatory system with ‘communication’ as the core,which might be an effective way to fight against concerted practice. It should be noted that the anti-monopoly law should have a cautious attitude to the regulation and cooperate with department laws such as the price law.
