The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a common measure of market concentration, which expresses how competitive a market is by looking at how many firms are able to compete in a given market. The index ranges between zero (perfectly competitive) and 10,000 (full monopoly), with a score of 1,500 to 2,500 considered to be a concentrated market, 2,500 and greater to be a highly concentrated market, and below 1,500 representing a competitive marketplace. HHI is used to judge the impact of mergers and acquisitions on market concentration, with the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission considering a merger transaction which results in a HHI increase of over 200 to need to be investigated for anti-competitive reasons. HHI is an aggregated index which does not account for particularities and complexities of market structure and should therefore be treated as a first approximation of market concentration. Since the late 1980s, the global HHI score has fallen considerably from almost 1600, to less than 450 in 2020.

This statistic shows the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) on the health insurance market in the Netherlands from 2013 to 2019, by province. In 2019, the province of Zuid-Holland reached an HHI of 1,716. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) measures the market concentration and derives from micro-economics. According to the source, a high number means a higher concentration, less players on the market and a higher market share. The source also assumes that lower concentration means more competition between insurance companies and more choice for consumers. At a value of 2,000 or higher, the market is deemed concentrated. In 2019, the province of Zuid-Holland scored a value of 1,716, meaning the health insurance market was not concentrated in this province. Opposed to this is the province of Friesland, which scored a value of 5,527, effectively indicating there is high concentration there.

Concentration statistics summarize the size distribution of units within an industry. Numerous measures have been used for various purposes. These tables present data for the two most common: concentration ratios (CR) and Herfindahl indexes (HI). The CR and HI emphasize different aspects of the size distribution. The CR measures the importance of the largest enterprises directly while the Herfindahl index takes the entire size distribution of enterprises into account. These statistics are classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The information source was the Annual Survey of Manufactures.

The four firm concentration ratio (CR4) is a measure of market concentration which is calculated by adding the market share of the four largest firms in a given industry. A CR4 number of higher than 50 percent is generally considered to be a concentrated market, with numbers ranging above 75 percent considered to be oligopolistic. In 2017, the United States had two industries where four or fewer firms completely controlled the market, namely Secondary Market Financing and Other Depository Credit Intermediation. Other notable concentrated industries included Tobacco Manufacturing (dominated by Philip Morris International, Altria Group and British American Tobacco) and Aircraft Manufacturing (dominated by Boeing and Airbus).

These statistics are classified by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC). The Annual Survey of Manufactures and Logging collects information on over 250 different industries. Beginning in 2004, the Annual Survey of Manufactures and Logging (ASML) replaces the Annual Survey of Manufactures and the Annual Survey of Forestry. While the ASML covers the same target population as its predecessors, this new survey ushers in a number of conceptual and methodological changes intended to reduce response burden, enhance data quality and streamline survey operations. Two changes have the greatest impact on the comparability of the principal statistics series for manufacturing (published in CANSIM tables 301-0003 and 301-0006) used to compile this product: some redefinition of the survey content and a change in the coverage for published statistics. Beginning with reference year 2004, the principal statistics published for manufacturing cover the activities of all businesses classified as manufacturers in Canada. These data series are not strictly comparable with manufacturing principal statistics previously published which covered the activities of businesses with annual sales greater than or equal to $30,000. This dataset contains 6 separate tables, one for each year.

The Research and Development Expenditures and Subsidies, Firm Productivity, Employment Creation and Survival study includes four datasets on firm Research and Development compiled from Office for National Statistics business datasets also held separately by the UK Data Archive. The four study datasets are:

• Research and Development and firm employment creation
• Research and Development and firm productivity
• subsidies and Research and Development expenditures
• Research and Development and firm survival

All four datasets contain data on UK firms from 1997 to 2012 across all sectors. The employment-related dataset and the productivity-related dataset were both obtained by merging the Business Expenditure on Research and Development database (BERD) (SN 6690) and the Annual Respondents Database (ARD) (SN 6644)/Annual Business Survey (ABS) (SN 7451). Both files contain data on different types of Research and Development expenditures and firm level indicators such as: capital stock, knowledge capital stock and full-time equivalent employment. The files also include knowledge spillover indicators. The employment-related dataset also includes wages and sector level indicators such as the Herfindahl index and Pavitt classes.

The subsidies-related dataset and survival-related datasets were both obtained by merging the BERD database and the Business Structure Database (BSD) (SN 6697). The files contain data on demographic variables and different types of Research and Development expenditures. Firm level indicators such as the Herfindahl index and Pavitt classes are also included. The subsidies-related dataset also includes data on salaries and on the sources of Research and Development funding (from central government and EU sources).

This report investigates media ownership and concentration in Mexico, one of the largest media markets in Latin America, from 2019 to 2022. It is part of the Global Media & Internet Concentration Project (GMIC) and focuses on three broad sectors: telecommunications and internet access, online and traditional media services, and core internet sectors. Using the Hirschman Herfindahl Index (HHI) to measure concentration, the report finds that most sectors, particularly Pay TV and Free-to-Air TV, exhibit high levels of concentration. However, some sectors, like radio and fixed telephony, show more moderate concentration levels as reported by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT). The goal is to assess whether Mexico's media landscape is becoming more or less concentrated over time.
