Abstract
We explain competition assessment. Regulations or other government-imposed barriers unduly restrain market activities. Assessing these restraints, via a process we call competition assessment, is the first step to eliminate the burden. First, we introduce a checklist as a simple way to understand the burden the given regulation places on competition. Next, we explain competition assessment involving several countries. We emphasize the adoption of more pro-competitive regulatory proposals. This entails identifying problems at the early stage of regulation making and encourages regulatory authorities to take steps toward improvement.
