摘要：
Ex-post assessments of competition agencies decisions may assist an agency to refine its current investigatory processes and procedures to minimise the chance of making type 1 or type 2 decision-making errors in relation to future decisions. To date, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has not released for public consideration any ex-post assessment of its merger decisions, adjudication determinations and/or enforcement investigations. This article recommends that the ACCC follow the lead of its overseas counterparts, and conduct ex-post assess- ments of its decisions in key industry sectors, such as Australias supermar- ket industry. Ongoing concerns regarding the competitiveness of Australias supermarket industry may make it an ideal candidate for the ACCCs first ex-post assessment. Further, an ex-post assessment may assist the ACCC to clarify its ambiguous assessment of emerging economic characteristics in Australias supermarket industry.
