Welcome to CFA Level 1 market structure analysis. Market structure describes how firms compete within an industry, while concentration measures help us quantify how market share is distributed among competing firms. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing competitive dynamics and market power in different industries. There are four main types of market structures. Perfect competition features many firms selling identical products with no barriers to entry. Monopolistic competition has many firms but with differentiated products. Oligopoly consists of few firms that are strategically interdependent. Finally, monopoly represents a single firm with a unique product and high barriers to entry. The N-firm concentration ratio is a key measure of market concentration. It calculates the combined market share of the largest N firms in an industry. For example, if we have six firms with market shares of 40, 25, 15, 10, 6, and 4 percent, the four-firm concentration ratio would be 90 percent. Higher concentration ratios indicate more concentrated markets with fewer dominant players. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, or HHI, is another important concentration measure. It squares each firm's market share and sums them up. Using our previous example, we calculate 40 squared plus 25 squared plus 15 squared plus 10 squared plus 6 squared plus 4 squared, which equals 2,602. An HHI below 1,500 indicates a competitive market, between 1,500 and 2,500 shows moderate concentration, and above 2,500 indicates high concentration. To summarize, market structure identification and concentration measures are essential tools for CFA candidates. Remember the four market structures and their characteristics. Concentration ratios measure how market share is distributed among the largest firms, while the HHI provides a more sensitive measure by squaring each firm's market share. Higher concentration indicates less competition and greater market power. These concepts are fundamental for analyzing industry dynamics and competitive positioning.
