| Research Abstract |
We have continued the study on application of antitrust law to corporations having market dominant position for last three years. For the purpose of this study, we have made a continuous work to understand the market structures of several industries, especially that of power industry, and the behavior of the corporations under such market structures. Through those analysis, we have tried to find the most suitable way introducing workable competition into those industries by means of the best mix of laws including antitrust law, and other industrial laws(acts for specific sectors).
To accomplish this purpose, it was necessary to continue the research for knowing situations on the same issue in some foreign countries. As to U.S.A., we have conducted hearings from FERC(Federal Energy Regulation Commission), Federal Trade Commission and also DOJ Antitrust Division, by which we could know well the activity of those authorities including the observation of M&A and anti-consumer conducts. As to Germany, we could have knowledge about the resent application of Energy Law and a movement to revision of the related laws. As to Japan, we have made some hearings from companies in power industry who entered this field recently and also from Japan Fare Trade Commission which had a plan for revising the antitrust law introducing the new provisions concerning a market dominant corporation.
Through the studies mentioned above, we could reach conclusions which were not previously obvious and can contribute the development of the research in this academic field.
