Abstract

China’s Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) sets forth the country’s antitrust enforcement policies. We investigate what welfare standard the AML seeks to maximize by examining both its stated language and, via revealed preference, the antitrust actions taken by the Anti-Monopoly Enforcement Authority.
