2.4: Research, Reports, Advocacy, and International Cooperation

Enhance consumer welfare through research, reports, advocacy, and international cooperation and exchange

Other Information:

The FTC seeks more effective, coordinated reviews of multijurisdictional mergers, and is working towards achieving consistent outcomes in cases of potential unilateral anticompetitive conduct. Our Strategy: To achieve this objective, the agency participates in multilateral competition organizations, which provides valuable opportunities to promote international cooperation and convergence and for competition officials to share insights on law enforcement and policy initiatives. The FTC also pursues the development of an international market-based competition model that focuses on the maximization of consumer benefit. The agency influences policy development and implementation by advising multilateral organizations, regional entities, and foreign government agencies through substantive consultations and written comments. and finally, the FTC provides technical assistance to newer competition agencies to enhance their ability to apply sound competition policies. Performance Results: The FTC uses two performance measures to assess performance for this objective. Key Measure 2.4.1 and Performance Measure 2.4.2 address the scope of our contact with international counterparts and help determine if our efforts are sufficiently broad-based.
