Market Concentration Indicators in the Dominican Republic: A Review of the Literature

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper presents a review of the Dominican empirical literature on market concentration indicators, with the aim of characterizing the competitive structure of different sectors of the Dominican economy. To this end, a documentary review of academic studies, technical reports, and institutional publications is conducted. The results show that the earliest recorded estimates of market concentration date back to the mid-1980s, and that the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) has been the most widely used indicator, followed by concentration measures based on market shares (Ck indices). In addition, the evidence indicates that public institutions have produced the majority of these estimates, most notably the General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) and the National Commission for the Defense of Competition (PRO-COMPETENCIA).
