Abstract:	近來國際原物料價格上漲引起社會各界對於通貨膨脹的普遍憂慮。若干輿論也責怪反托拉斯主管機關（公平會）管制物價不力，以致形成通貨膨脹並損及消費者福利，不利於經濟長期成長。更有議論認為：如果公平會能加強對獨占定價的管制，則非但能控制通貨膨脹並減輕消費者負擔，更可刺激經濟成長解決當前經濟困境。有鑑於此，本研究計畫在 Augmented Solow Growth 模型架構下，嘗試利用全球 98 國於 2005 年至 2009 年間的樣本資料，建立一個 3SLS 計量模型探討反托拉斯是否具備影響成長之因果關係？如有，則是否可以透過控制通貨膨脹做為管道，以影響經濟成長與消費福利？在此一背景下，本研究將檢定兩項命題：（1）提高資源配置效率，以促進投資與創新是反托拉斯影響成長的唯一管道；（2）反托拉斯無法藉著管制獨占定價，以降低通貨膨脹的管道加速經濟成長。如果以上兩項命題果真屬實，則反托拉斯執法即不宜做為穩定「總體絕對價格」上漲的政策工具；政府應將執法重點置於個別商品市場，並加強取締干擾「個體相對價格」之壟斷力量，以避免資源配置失當，影響投資與成長。 Recently, with rising international commodity prices fueling concern about inflation, the antitrust authority (TFTC) has been under a great deal of pressure to regulate domestic prices. The public opinion indicates that the TFTC should adopt a more intrusive and consumer-focused approach to antitrust enforcement so as to regulate monopoly pricing. It is claimed that this may help to control inflation which, in turn, would not only enhance the welfare of consumers who purchase from monopolists, but would also stimulate economic growth and hence can alleviate the current economic woes. In order to identify whether or not antitrust can influences growth via the channel of price regulation, this project will use the 3SLS regressions based on an augmented Solow growth model to investigate the linkages between antitrust and economic growth in a panel of 98 countries over the period 2005-2009. There are two propositions to be tested, at least indirectly. First, investment motivated by efficiency-seeking is the only channel through which antitrust can affect growth. Second, regulating monopoly pricing to control inflation is not the channel for antitrust to affect growth. If these two propositions are true, then antitrust policy should abandon any pretensions of being a tool for macroeconomic stabilization, and should focus solely on correcting microeconomic conduct that may result in a misallocation of resources and a reduction in efficiency.
