摘要

对竞争法中纵向协议的正确福利评估是一项艰巨的任务。欧盟和美国等较为成熟的司法管辖区一直在努力制定最佳框架。本文详细分析了已有11年历史的印度竞争委员会(CCI)的纵向协议案例。其目标是协助商会在其形成阶段通过-à-vis纵向协定加强其法律和经济框架。对一些主要病例的审查揭示了CCI病例中三种类型的虚弱。首先，在立法解释上存在一些法律歧义。其次，经济分析在很大程度上是不连贯和截断的。第三，明显存在对欧盟判例的过度依赖，这与2002年《印度竞争法》的立法方案不相符。文章在结尾处总结了一些教训。

Vertical restraints under Indian Competition Law: whither law and economics

The correct welfare assessment of vertical agreements in competition law is a difficult craft. The more mature jurisdictions such as the EU and the US have struggled to develop the optimal framework. This article scrutinizes vertical agreements cases of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) that is now 11 years old. The objective is to assist the CCI in strengthening its legal and economic framework vis-à-vis vertical agreements in its formative stage. The scrutiny of some leading cases revealed three types of infirmities in CCI’s cases. First, there are some legal ambiguities in the interpretation of the legislation. Secondly, the economic analysis is largely incoherent and truncated. Thirdly, there is a visible overreliance on the EU jurisprudence that does not conform to the legislative scheme of the Indian Competition Act, 2002. The article draws out some lessons towards the end.
