The author puts forward the main trends and directions of antimonopoly regulation, hypotheses concerning the effectiveness of the use of methods and tools of antimonopoly and tariff regulation in Russia. These hypotheses checking are carried out using economic indicators and statistical methods of analysis. Through the system of criteria, the author assesses the performance of antimonopoly bodies of Russia in terms of the effectiveness of the use of selected regulatory and regulatory methods and the extent to which the objectives have been achieved. Based on the analysis of statistical data, it is shown that abuse of a dominant position is the most common violation of the antimonopoly law, regardless of the structure of the market. The tendencies of regulation of natural monopoly markets by means of the correlation-regression analysis are revealed, indicating the ambiguity of the interpretation of normative legal acts by market participants.
