问题如下:
One disadvantage of the Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index is that the index:
选项:
A.is difficult to compute.
B.fails to reflect low barriers to entry.
C.fails to reflect the effect of mergers in the industry.
解释:
B is correct.
The Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index does not reflect low barriers to entry that may restrict the market power of companies currently in the market.
考点: Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index
解析:同 concentration ratio 相同,Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index同样也没有考虑到行业进入壁垒的问题。Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index的计算,既不算简单,也不算复杂。但是Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index进步之处在于,它考虑到了行业间的兼并影响问题。所以本题选B
我不知道这个知识点为啥会和 barrier 联系起来,因为市场集中度应该是反应当前市场上的玩家的集中度,如果有新玩家进入,就按这个方法重新统计一遍就好了啊,任何统计量或者指标都是静态的,怎么可能有动态指标去追踪有没有玩家进出呢?
