Topic: Concentration <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • It's quite useful to identify or measure the degree of concentration in an oligopoly market. This is generally accomplished in one of three ways.

    • Market Share: The simplest measure of concentration is the share of the market held by one or more firms in the industry.

    • Concentration Ratio: This measure of concentration combines the market shares for the largest number of firms in an industry to indicate the degree of market concentration.

    • Herfindahl Index: The Herfindahl index includes the market shares of all firms in the market.

  • Consideration and analysis of concentration using either of these three measures is really only relevant for oligopoly.
