Competition law has proliferated around the world. Due to data limitations, however, there is little systematic information about the substance and enforcement of these laws. In this article, we address that problem by introducing two new datasets on competition law regimes around the world. First, we introduce the Comparative Competition Law Dataset, which codes competition laws in 131 jurisdictions between 1889 to 2010. Second, we introduce the Comparative Competition Enforcement Dataset, which provides data on competition agencies’ resources and activities in 100 jurisdictions between 1990 and 2010. These datasets offer the most comprehensive picture of competition law yet assembled and provide a new foundation for empirical research on the legal regimes used to regulate markets.

竞争法走向全球：比较竞争法和执法数据集简介

竞争法在世界范围内激增。但是，由于数据限制，关于这些法律的实质和执行的系统信息很少。在本文中，我们通过引入两个有关全球竞争法制度的新数据集来解决该问题。首先，我们引入《比较竞争法》数据集，该数据集对1889年至2010年之间131个辖区的竞争法进行了编码。其次，我们引入了《比较竞争执法数据集》，该数据集提供了1990年至2010年之间100个辖区中竞争机构的资源和活动的数据。这些数据集提供了最完整的竞争法图景，并且已被组装，并为用于管制市场的法律制度的实证研究提供了新的基础。
