本文擬就事業因聯合協議或濫用市場地位不當抬高價格經處分禁止後，倘市場價格仍處於非競爭水平時， 競爭主管機關有無法理及政策考量上之依據，得要求違法事業將價格回復至勾結前之價格水平，以美國法為分析對象，為一比較法之研究。除介紹與分析相關競爭法規與法院實務對此一議題之看法外， 並將從反托拉斯法學理的觀點，思考競爭主管機關能否介入非被管制事業之價格決定過程?其可介入之程度為何?以及反托拉斯法上之
私人訴訟制度於此一議題上所可以扮演的角色， 有何值得借鏡之處。
n this paper, I explore the issue of whether the FTC should have theregulatory power to mandate a price reversal to the pre-violationlevel when the alleged non-competitive price resulting from collusionor the abuse of a firm's dominant market position remains intact evenafter the violators have been punished and have ended theirinappropriate competing behavior. I rely mainly on the experience fromthe United States to examine whether this issue had ever beenpresented to and decided by its enforcement agencies and courts. Basedon the conclusion from the analysis, I further consider whether theAmerican experience could be translated into our legal system tosupport or disapprove the extension of the FTC's power to set theprices for industries not subject to rate regulation. In addition,whether private antitrust litigation is capable of functioningequivalently as an alternative to price reversal in terms of the needto maintain market competition and protect consumer will also beelaborated upon in this paper.
