Outline of Research at the Start

メーカーと小売店などの取引関係において,ライバルメーカーとの取引を禁ずる取引契約を排他条件付取引契約(以下,排他契約)という.排他契約は,企業間の競争を制限する効果を持っているため,ライバル企業を排除する反競争的な目的で利用される可能性がある.これまでの研究により,特定の状況において,こうした目的で行われる可能性があることが明らかになっている.排他契約は,様々な市場で行われており,競争政策の運営には,更なる分析が求められる.本研究計画では,理論分析および実験分析を通して,ライバル企業を排除する反競争的な排他契約が実現する状況を明らかにし,我が国の競争政策に貢献することを目指す.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In vertical relationships between manufacturers and retailers, exclusive contracts may serve as a means to exclude existing competitors from the market. This study constructs a theoretical model based on exclusive arrangements observed between beverage manufacturers and restaurants, and analyzes the market conditions under which such contracts are likely to be concluded. To test the theoretical predictions, we also conducted economic experiments and identified the conditions that increase the likelihood of exclusive contracts being signed. These findings offer important insights into the dynamics of exclusive agreements among incumbent firms and provide implications for competition policy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでの研究により,排他条件付取引契約が競合他社を排除する目的で利用されるのは,特定の市場状況に限られることが明らかになっている.一方で,排他条件付取引契約は多様な取引関係において観察されており,その締結が反競争的な意図に基づくものであるか否かを判断するには,契約が成立する具体的な条件の解明が求められる.本研究は,既存企業間における専売契約の奪い合いに着目し,排他契約の成立条件を理論および実験を通じて分析したものであり,競争政策の検討に資する知見を提供している.
