The major supermarket chains have a substantial economic and social impact on consumers, businesses and communities and are crucial to Australia's economic growth and productivity. Given their size and reach, regulation of the chains poses significant challenges. This interdisciplinary, empirical and theoretically driven project aims to interrogate the goals and processes of competition law as it applies in the retail grocery sector. In the first Australian research of its kind, it endeavours to explain how the chains' strategies and industry relationships influence regulatory action. The research is expected to produce recommendations on instruments and techniques to ensure that regulation of the sector is legally and practically efficient and effective.

大型连锁超市对消费者、企业和社区产生了巨大的经济和社会影响，对澳大利亚的经济增长和生产力至关重要。鉴于这些供应链的规模和范围，对其进行监管构成了重大挑战。这个跨学科，经验和理论驱动的项目旨在询问竞争法的目标和程序，因为它适用于零售杂货业。在澳大利亚的第一次同类研究中，它努力解释连锁店的战略和行业关系如何影响监管行动。预计这项研究将提出关于工具和技术的建议，以确保该部门的监管在法律上和实际上都是有效的。
