Dataset is not available.


This table gives an indication of the market competition and an overview of legislation, other government measures and barriers that (could) influence market competition for the Netherlands and a dedicated group of benchmark countries. These indicators provide information on mark-up, employment protection legislation, public procurement and state support. For the investment climate it is important that market competition (nationally and internationally) is obstructed as little as possible by legislation or other barriers which make it difficult for enterprises to enter the market.

Internationally harmonized definitions are used to compare the figures presented internationally. These definitions sometimes differ from definitions used by Statistics Netherlands.

Description topics

Mark-up
A measure of competition and profit margin of companies in a market.
Broken down by sector
Per sector the mark-up is calculated as the value added in the sector divided by the wage sum of employees in the sector.

Source: European Commission, AMECO database.
Only the wage sum of employees. Excluded is virtual salary of self-employed.
0000b Agriculture, forestry and fishery
0000b Agriculture, forestry and fishery (A+B) = NACE rev. 1, categories A and B. This category is made up of the categories:
01 Agriculture and related service activities.
02 Forestry and logging.
05 Fishing and aquaculture.
Barriers
The indicators 'Barriers to entrepreneurship' and 'Barriers to trade and investment' originating from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This indicator is updated every 5 years. Alternative figures for the intervening years see the indicators 'Public procurement' and 'Price convergence'. The score ranges from 0 to 6, where a higher figure indicates more barriers. For a description of how the scores are determined please see the link in paragraph 3 in the general explanation.

To trade and investment
One of the indices of product market regulation (PMR) of the OECD. It concerns a weighted average of indicators at a lower level, namely:
- explicit barriers for trade and investment (barriers against foreign holdings, procedures discriminating foreign enterprises, import levies etc.);
- other obstacles for international trade' (especially legislation).
