| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the fundamental principles of economic public order: the social market economy and the social rule of law, and their relationship to the welfare state economic model, along with rights and freedoms related to trade, enterprise, and competition, as essential background for a constitutional and conceptual understanding of economic competition in Ecuador. It then describes the various conceptions of the nature and purpose of competition protection legislation and policy in relation to the differing importance given to market structure, behavior, and outcomes. Finally, the analysis delves into the various typologies of restrictive practices, such as agreements between companies, horizontal agreements (including price fixing, collusive bidding, market sharing, production limitations, concerted refusal to negotiate, and collective refusal of membership in an association), and vertical agreements (such as resale price fixing, exclusivity agreements, market sharing, and tied sales). It concludes with the definition and scope of abuse of dominant position, mergers, and acquisitions. |
