ABSTRACT
Cartels were common in the Netherlands for the greatest part of the twentieth century. In Chapter 5 of this volume, Petit, van Sinderen and van Bergeijk discuss the Netherlands’ competition policy and its drivers in the twentieth century. The present chapter studies the extent of cartelisation by providing data on the number of registered cartels in the Netherlands. By cartelisation we mean the presence of registered cartel agreements between firms, either submitted by firms themselves or identified by the government as such.
