| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has focused on clarifying the reach of the theory and the legal standards which has been advocated for analyzing predatory exclusion. The main subject of the study are exclusionary conducts with price setting, particularly, Price Squeeze, Loyalty Rebate and Per-processor License (Reducing Rival’s Revenue). As widely known, these conducts have multiple aspects including Raising Rival’s Cost. So applying only the predation theory to these types of conduct does not always lead a proper legal reasoning nor conclusion. Therefore, we reached the view that utilizing several economic theory consistently is very important in analyzing whether those conducts fulfill legal requirements like: whether some aspects of a conduct is undue method for competition; how the mechanism is in which exclusionary and anticompetitive effect arises by the conduct.
