Abstract

Outcomes of the key performance indicators application for the assessment of the public authority performance are ambiguous. Theory of incentive contracts as well as international experience highlight difficulties and possible externalities of KPI setting for the public authority. The motivation system often distorts incentives of the public authorities, and the applied indicators do not correctly reflect the priorities of enforcement for the society. One specific example is the assessment of performance of the Russian competition authority. In the paper we analyze the peculiarities of formation of the ratio of infringement decisions that have come into legal force to all infringement decisions made by the competition authorities applied as one of the key performance indicators. Using the data of the database of judicial reviews of infringement decisions, we show that the assessment of FAS performance based on the share of infringement decisions that have come into legal force, distorts incentives of the authority substantially. It motivates the competition authority for making a large number of infringement decisions with a low probability to reverse but with a low positive impact on consumer surplus and total welfare.
