平台企业扼杀性并购的反垄断规制:困境与出路

Antitrust Regulation of Killer Acquisitions by Platform Enterprises: Predicament and Outlet

  • 摘要: 伴随数字经济的发展,平台企业异军突起,成为推动社会发展的重要力量。在网络效应的作用下,平台经济在较短的时间内形成了“赢家通吃”的局面,诸多经营领域被创立较早且实力雄厚的少数平台企业把控。为扩大市场力量,这些平台企业主导了以初创企业为潜在并购对象、以扼杀潜在竞争对手为动机、以数据垄断为手段的扼杀性并购。囿于制度缺陷,反垄断规制在应对平台企业扼杀性并购问题上存在申报标准、实质审查等诸多现实困境。对此,在现有规制工具出路上,应当调整经营者集中制度的适用基础和具体规则;在新型监管工具出路上,欧盟“守门人”制度提供了合理的规制路径。

     

    Abstract: With the development of digital economy, platform enterprises have sprung up and become an important force to promote social development. Under the action of network effect, the platform economy has formed a winner-takes-all situation in a short period of time. Many business areas are controlled by a small number of platform enterprises established earlier with strong strength. To expand their market power, these platform companies have dominated killer acquisitions, which takes start-ups as potential targets, stifling potential competitors as the motivation, and data monopoly as the means. Due to the defects of the system, the antitrust regulation has many practical difficulties in dealing with the issue of killer acquisitions by platform enterprises, such as declaration standards and substantive examination. In this regard, on the path of existing regulatory tools, the application basis and specific rules of the concentration of undertakings system should be adjusted; on the path of new regulatory tools, the EU “gatekeeper” system provides a reasonable regulatory path.
