忠诚折扣的反垄断经济分析
Antitrust Economic Analysis Framework of Loyalty Discounts
摘要
Abstract
The EU v. Intel case, which lasts for nearly a decade, sparks a discussion of what analytical framework and test methods should be used for loyalty discounts.Some scholars believe that loyalty discounts should use the analytical framework of predatory pricing and price cost testing, while others suggest that loyalty discounts should use an analytical framework for exclusive dealing with the equally efficient competitor test.The answer to the above questions needs to clarify the economic logic behind loyalty discounts. Taking the Intel case as the analysis scenario, this paper analyzes the theory of competitive damage of loyalty discounts.By comparing and analyzing the economic logic of predatory pricing and exclusive dealing, it is found that loyalty discounts and exclusive dealing should belong to the category of raising rivals ' costs. Therefore, loyalty discounts should adopt the analysis framework of exclusive dealing.Moreover, since the price below cost is neither a sufficient condition nor a necessary condition for loyalty discounts, loyalty discounts should be based on a more reasonable test, namely, the equally efficient competitor test rather than a price cost test.关键词
