“…The Pietra-Hoover inequality index (PHI) is a peculiar measure (Delalić, et al, 2018) indicating the proportion of the total variable value which should be transferred from the value area above the arithmetic mean to the value area below the arithmetic mean such that a uniform distribution can be achieved. The value of this index can be found from the Lorenz curve: the value is obtained from the greatest "vertical distance" between the Lorenz curve and the uniform distribution line.…”

“…In order to discuss gain inequality and team hierarchy, one can usefully calculate so called « concentration indices »: the entropy measure, the Theil entropy, the Gini coefficient, the Pietra index, the coefficient of variation, the Rosenbluth (Rosenbluth, 1955;Delalić et al, 2018), and first, the Hirschman-Herfindahl index.…”

This note examines financial distributions to competing teams at the end of the most famous multiple stage professional (male) bicyclist race, "TOUR DE FRANCE". A rank-size law (RSL) is calculated for the team financial gains. The RSL is found to be hyperbolic with a surprisingly simple decay exponent ≈-1. Yet, the financial gain distributions unexpectedly do not obey Pareto principle of factor sparsity. Next, several (8) inequality indices are considered : the Entropy, the Hirschman-Herfindahl, Theil, Pietra-Hoover, Gini, Rosenbluth indices, the Coefficient of Variation and the Concentration Index are calculated for outlining « diversity measures ». The connection between such indices and their « concentration aspects » meanings are presented as support of the RSL findings. The results emphasize that the sum of skills and team strategies are effectively contributing to the financial gains distributions. From theoretical and practical points of view, the findings suggest that one should investigate other "long multiple stage races" and rewarding rules. Indeed, money prize rules coupling to stage difficulty might influence and maybe enhance (or deteriorate) purely sportive aspects in group competitions.Due to the delay in the peer review process, the 2019 results can be examined. They are discussed in an Appendix ; the value of the exponent (-1.2) is pointed out to mainly originating from the so called « king effect » ; the tail of the RSL rather looks like an exponential.

“…It can be concluded that the Croatian banking sector is characterised by an oligopolistic structure: it is polarised into a small number of large banks and a large number of small banks. It is necessary to keep in mind that high concentration in banking market can have negative effects on the system due to reduced competition, and apart from the fact that banks can form higher prices, there is also a problem of risk dispersion which can be dangerous for the financial stability of the country (Delalić, Čurković, & Antić, 2018).…”

Purpose – as the largest share of national money assets is concentrated in banks, their profitability is important not only for shareholder but also for the whole economy. The aim of this paper is to analyse the influence of the structure of total assets and its liquidity on overall success in the Croatian banking industry. Research methodology – in order to achieve the main purpose the cross-section regression models will be estimated which will include standard profitability indicators and various liquidity and assets indices. Findings – the results of the analysis show that the level and the structure of total assets, as well as the level of its liquidity, significantly influence its profitability. Research limitations – the analysis in this paper is limited to the influence of the asset side of the bank balance sheet in cross-section conditions. Therefore this research could be considered as a preliminary one and should be expanded by introducing the other indicators from liability in wider time horizons. Practical implications – the results outlined in this paper could be practical guidelines for successful asset management which is prerequisite for achieving an adequate financial performance in the banking business. Originality/Value – according to our knowledge, research of this phenomenon is very rare, so this is one of the first papers considering the impact of asset structure on bank performance for the Croatian banking system.
