“…Estimation of input-output relations via Cobb-Douglas and translog production functions also identified a structural change in manufacturing in 1987 and in its production relations. O'Neill (1993) recomputed the entropy index reported by Attaran and Saghafi (1988) using correct market share values. Evidence showed exactly opposite results.…”

This paper studies the industrial concentration and competitive patterns of Hong Kong, a typical small open economy, via an entropy measurement. A relatively low degree of concentration was found to exist. Manufacturing showed decreasing concentration for 1976‐81 and increasing concentration after 1987. Non‐manufacturing had decreasing concentration since 1982. A structural change between the sectors had occurred. The size of the domestic market seemed unimportant in determining the level of concentration in a small open economy with free trade. The open‐door policy of the PRC which facilitated free resource mobility and outward investment between the two regions should be important to contribute such patterns.

Geographic concentration in U.S. hog production from 1974-96 is investigated using a measure based on Theil's entropy index. For the U.S. as a whole, geographic concentration is occurring at a slow rate, both for hog farms and hog numbers. However, for particular states, primarily in the new Southern Atlantic production region, concentration is high and increasing at a rapid pace. Concentration was increasing for the 23-year period for 16 out of the 20 states in the analysis. Results indicate that geographic concentration by augmentation is occurring to the greatest degree in Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.
