We investigate the public attitude towards cartels in the Netherlands in comparison with other economic infringements. We examine this in a survey on several types of economic infringements. We find that cartels are considered serious offenses in the Netherlands. People generally think that cartels are not allowed, consider them immoral, and have negative consequences for society. However, on average, most other infringements are considered more serious, are less allowed, more immoral, and have more negative consequences for society than cartel behavior. Furthermore, we find that the considered seriousness of an infringement is explained by people’s personal norms, followed by the infringement’s consequences, whether people think the infringement is allowed and to what extent it has direct impact on people.

与其他经济侵权相比，荷兰公众对卡特尔的态度

与其他经济侵权行为相比，我们调查了荷兰公众对卡特尔的态度。我们在对几种类型的经济侵权的调查中对此进行了研究。我们发现卡特尔在荷兰被视为严重罪行。人们普遍认为卡特尔是不被允许的，认为它们是不道德的，并对社会产生负面影响。然而，平均而言，与卡特尔行为相比，大多数其他侵权行为被认为更严重、更不被允许、更不道德，对社会的负面影响更大。此外，我们发现，人们对侵权行为的严重程度的考虑首先是由人们的个人规范来解释的，其次是侵权行为的后果，人们认为侵权行为是否被允许以及在多大程度上对人们产生了直接影响。
