摘要

摘要执行可预见性的缺失阻碍了竞争法的威慑功能。本文表明,学术界对最优竞争规则的分析并没有充分考虑到这一因素,而是过分关注误差问题。有时候,可预测性作为一个相关因素被完全忽略了。在其他时候,它被考虑在内,但其影响的框架削弱了其重要性。本文进一步讨论了部分竞争法和经济学学者滥用可预测性的三个可能原因。首先,这可能是写作方便的结果。其次,可预测性在选择最优竞争规则中的作用可能被简单地误解。第三,可预见性的作用可能被故意贬低,以倡导有利于竞争从业者和/或被告利益的规则。本文还简要探讨了每个原因的问题,以及可用的解决方案。

Predictability: a mistreated virtue of competition law
Abstract Lacking predictability of enforcement hinders the deterrent function of competition law. This article shows that academic analyses of optimal competition rules do not always treat this factor adequately, paying instead excessive attention to the problem of error. Sometimes, predictability is completely ignored as a relevant factor. At other times, it is taken into account but its effects are framed in a way that undermines their significance. This article further discusses three possible reasons why a part of competition law and economics scholarship engages in such mistreatment of predictability. First, it may be a result of writing convenience. Secondly, the role of predictability in selecting the optimal competition rule may simply be misunderstood. Thirdly, the role of predictability may be belittled intentionally in order to advocate rules benefiting the interests of competition practitioners and/or defendants. This article also briefly explores how problematic each reason is and what solutions might be available.
