大数据算法的价格合谋问题研究

Research on Price Collusion of Big Data Algorithm

大数据时代的经济运行将会发生巨大改变。在微观层面,由市场机制推动的经济运行被认为遵循了一个自然秩序并可以实现社会福利的最大化。然而,市场经济的实际运行并没有想象得那么好,市场失灵现象逐步成为一种常态,受到各个市场经济国家的重视。合谋是影响市场正常运行的一种垄断现象,在过去的市场经济运行中就存在,是解决市场失灵的一个重要对象。在大数据时代,合谋的垄断现象有了较大程度的改变,借助大数据算法进行合谋不仅保留了隐蔽性的特点,而且可以普遍化,造成的影响也更大,需要认真对待,一方面要认识到时代技术发展趋势;另一方面也要合理规制,避免对社会福利更大程度的消解。为此,研究大数据算法引起合谋的机制及其表现类型,并寻求科学的规制,是理论和实践都应该关注的问题。

Great changes will take place in the economic operation in the era of big data.At the microlevel,the economic operation driven by the market mechanism is considered to follow a natural order and maximize social welfare.However,the actual operation of the market economy is not as good as expected.The phenomenon of market failure has come to be normal and attracted the attention of various market economy countries.Collusion is a monopoly phenomenon that affects the normal operation of the market.It has existed in the operation of the market economy in the past and seems an important object to solve the market failure.In the era of big data,the monopoly phenomenon of collusion has changed to a great extent.Collusion with big data algorithm not only retains the characteristics of concealment,but also can be generalized,resulting in greater impact,which needs to be taken seriously.On the one hand,we should recognize the trend of technological progress in the era;On the other hand,we should also regulate reasonably to avoid a greater degree of degradation of social welfare.Therefore,it is an issue that should be concerned in theory and practice,to study the mechanism and performance types of collusion caused by big data algorithms and seek scientific regulation.
