摘　　要：随着互联网的普及,竞争者普遍利用计算机进行交易,形成了数字市场。与传统的价格合谋不同,数字市场的竞争者利用算法协调价格,更容易形成算法价格合谋,且非常隐秘难以发现。按照算法在价格合谋形成中的作用不同,可以分为显性合谋、轴辐卡特尔、默契合谋与虚拟合谋。在经典显性合谋、轴辐卡特尔中,算法执行由竞争者所形成的合谋,属于现行反垄断法的调整范围,默契合谋与虚拟合谋由于缺乏竞争者的合谋,难以被现行反垄断法所调整,需要将算法理解为协同行为,从而完成规制。With the popularity of the Internet,competitors generally use computers for transactions,which forms a digital market.Competitors in the digital market use algorithms to coordinate prices and form algorithmic price collusion,which is different from traditional price collusion and easier to form,buthidden and difficult to find.According to the different roles of algorithm in the formation of price collusion,it can be divided into explicit collusion,hub-and-spoke cartel,tacit collusion and virtual collusion.In classical explicit collusion and hub-and-spoke cartel,the algorithm executes the collusion formed by competitors,which belongs to the adjustment scope of the current anti-monopoly law.Tacit collusion and virtual collusion are difficult to be adjusted by the anti-monopoly law due to the lack of collusion of competitors.It is necessary to consider the algorithm as concertedpractice in order to complete the regulation of the law.
