The market of platform business is typically served by a few dominant players, presenting "winner-takes-all" phenomenon. This study aims to find service characteristics leading to the phenomenon. Six different service-characteristics were considered : Same-side network effect, cross-side network effects, entry barrier, multi-homing cost, switching cost, and heterogeneity of preference. To assess the degree of concentration of market share, HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) is calculated for top three major players. Based on the HHI value, 10 most eminent platform businesses are classified into three different segments and each segment is characterized with key factors. The results from this study provide some insight into the strategic management of platform business.

Purpose: Despite growing interest in health information sharing, researchers remain uncertain whether hospitals' sharing of information increases patient satisfaction, one of the key measures of the quality of care. This study evaluates the effect of health information sharing on patient satisfaction and whether the effect varies with context. Methodology: Regression analysis was conducted using a sample consisting of 6,641 year-hospital observations, based on data from the annual and IT surveys of the American Hospital Association (AHA) and Census. Findings: Our results suggest that information sharing using health IT increases patient satisfaction, while the extent (breadth) of information sharing increases patient satisfaction, the level of detail (depth) of information sharing does not. Our results also show that the effects of the breadth and depth of information sharing vary with different contexts, e.g., the percentage of people over 65 and Hirschman-Herfindahl index (HHI). Practical Implications: Policymakers should pay greater attention to realizing the full benefits of hospitals' information sharing based on market characteristics.

국제자유무역주의가 지속적으로 확대됨에 따라 국가 간의 항공협정에서 민감한 문제로 제한하고 있던 운항에 관한 제반 조건을 항공사가 시장상황에 따라 자유롭게 결정할 수 있도록 하는 항공자유화(Open Skies policy)정책이 세계적으로 확산되고 있다. 범세계적으로 이해당사국간, 다자간 협정방식으로 항공자유화가 추진되고 중국항공시장에도 도입됨에 따라 항공사간 무한 경쟁이 예고되며 항공사의 경쟁력, 국제공항의 허브화, 항공수요의 변화가 주목되고 있다. 최근 중국은 대외무역의 급격한 성장과 함께 세계 제2위의 항공시장으로 성장하였다. 또한 다른 나라들과의 양자간 항공자유화 협정이 체결됨에 따라 중국의 항공시장구조와 항공사의 시장지배력에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 중국항공시장을 이해하기 위해서는 중국의 항공자유화정책과 항공운송시장의 특징에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문은 먼저 중국의 민간항공산업에 있어서 정부와 시장의 역할에 초점을 두고 중국의 항공자유화정책의 진척상황을 조망하였다. 둘째로 시장규모, 경쟁구조, 시장집중도 및 진입장벽 등 4개 측면에서 중국항공산업구조를 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 이용한 허핀달-허쉬만지수를 통한 실증분석 결과, 중국의 항공시장은 과점시장구조를 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 중국항공운송시장에 참여하는 항공사는 항공동맹체 가입을 적극적으로 모색하거나 여타 항공사와는 차별화된 상용고객우대프로그램(FFP) 개발 등 경쟁력 강화를 위한 조치가 필요하다는 정책적 시사점을 도출하였다.

본연구는 매출액 기준 세 가지 분석에 따라 국적외항선사들의 시장 지배력 변화를 분석하고 이를 통해 정부의 선택과 집중에 기반한 해운 재건정책 전략의 효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 세 가지 분석 결과 모두 2019-2021년 최근 3년간 CR₄(Concentration Ratio)값 및 HHI(Hirschman-Herfindahl Index)값이 증가하여 국적외항선사의 시장구조는 경쟁시장에서 다소 집중된 시장으로 변했음을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 원양컨테이너선사(i.e. HMM과 SM상선)의 시장 점유율이 역내아시아선사 및 부정기선사에 비해 크게 상승하였으며, 컨테이너 정기선 해운시장의 경우 독점시장 또는 고집중적 과점시장화가 된 것으로 나타났다. 타 시장에 비해 원양 컨테이너 운임의 높은 상승은 원양컨테이너 선사의 시장지배력 강화에 매우 큰 영향을 미쳤으며 여기에 정부지원으로 인한 선대확충으로 초과 수익을 달성했다고 볼 수 있다. 결과론적으로 정부의 선대확대전략은 기대 이상의 결과를 낸 것으로 해석할 수 있으나 우리나라 국적선사의 시장구조가 견고해 졌는지 결론을 내기는 한계가 있다.

For monitoring the status of industrial accidents, many statistical indexes have been developed and applied such as fatal rate, frequency rate, and severity rate. These accident indexes are measured by frequency and loss time according to the accidents in the individual industry level. However, it is less considered to use the index of identifying the industrial concentration of accidents in the holistic view. Thus, this study aims to suggest the accident concentration level among domestic industries through index analysis. The concentration level of industrial accidents is calculated by the accident composition of sub-industries. This concentration level shows whether an industry is comprised of a few sub-industries generating more accidents or an industry consists of sub-industries having the similar number of accidents. To this end, the concentration rate (CR) and concentration index (CI) are proposed to take a look at the industry composition of accidents by embracing the concept of market concentration indexes such as Hirschman-Herfindahl Index. As for the case study, four industries of mining, manufacturing, transportation, and other business (usually service) are analyzed in terms of indexes of accident rate, death(fatality) rate, and CR and CI of accident and death. Finally, we illustrate the positioning map that the accident concentration level is compared with the traditional accident frequency level among industries.

Purpose - This paper examines whether product market competition in distribution and service industries is related to audit quality. This paper investigates, specifically, the relationship in distribution and service industries by using Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and audit quality measured by audit fee and audit hour. Research design, data, and methodology - Using 1,011 firm-year observations of listed companies from 2002 to 2016 in distribution and service industries, this study examines whether product market competition in distribution and service industries is related to audit quality. Results - This study finds that market competition in distribution and service industries is negatively related to audit quality and this negative relation is pronounced for the firms with high outside director groups. Further analysis suggests that the relationship between market competition and audit hours is no longer significant. Conclusions - This study extended the existing scope of the audit quality study by systematically analyzing the impact of industrial-level characteristics (i.e. market competition) in the distribution service industries on audit quality. This study, in other words, suggests the regulatory body consider the industrial-level characteristics of each industry in order to enhance audit quality.

The study empirically examines the effects of loan portfolio diversification on bank risk and return in the nascent banking market of Vietnam. Loan portfolio diversification is captured through the Hirschman-Herfindahl index and the Shannon Entropy with sectoral exposures. We access each bank's financial reports to collect the required data, especially the breakdown of sectoral loan portfolios, thus constituting a unique dataset. To compute bank return, we use the traditional accounting indicators, including return-on-assets, return-on-equity, and net-interest margin. For bank risk, we utilize the loan-loss provisions and non-performing loans relative to gross customer loans. Using a sample of 30 commercial banks over the period from 2008 to 2019 and the system generalized method of moments estimator for the dynamic panel, we indicate the downsides of portfolio diversification. Concretely, we observe that all diversification measures exhibit significantly negative signs in all regressions across different bank return proxies. At the same time, the estimates display the significant and positive impact of diversification on the non-performing loan ratio. Hence, sectoral loan portfolio diversification significantly hampers bank performance in both aspects of lower return and higher credit risk. The results are robust across a rich set of bank performance and portfolio diversification measures.

The growth and employment effects of R&D investment were analyzed according to business size, export value and manufacturing sectors so as to suggest improvement directions for effective industry policies. The effect of R&D investment was considered simultaneously from the two perspectives of growth and employment effect, and the causality analysis was carried out by using a path analysis. The result of the path analysis confirmed significant differences in the growth effect of R&D investment depending on business size. However, the effect of increasing employment was difficult to obtain statistically significant results for any various combinations of business size and export value. This is a mixture of directions for the effects of R&D investment on employment, which could be due to the failure to consider appropriate time lags between investment and effect. Efficiency analysis by industry sectors confirmed significant differences in efficiency depending on business size, but differences depending on export value were difficult to identify. In order to derive improvement policy by industry sector according to business size and export value, the direction of selective support policy and universal support policy was derived for six industry groups by combining the return to scale in the efficiency analysis and R&D concentration. Hirschman-Herfindahl index is used for calculating R&D concentration.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to empirically test a model of associations linking locations and competition among nursing homes (NHs), mediated by facility grade and registered nurse (RN) turnover, on activities of daily living (ADLs) in Korean NHs. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design to identify causal factors on NH residents' ADLs. Data were collected from June 2017 to August 2017. A disproportionate stratified cluster sampling method of NHs across Korea was used to gain representation. The collected data consisted of location and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), RN turnover rate, facility grade, and NH residents' ADLs. Results: All pathways affecting ADLs were not significant, and the effect on facility grade was significant in RN turnover (β = -.59, p < .001). RN turnover associated negatively with facility grade. In other words, the higher the RN turnover, the worse the facility grade. Conclusion: This study is the first to examine the impact of location and HHIs, mediated by RN turnover rate and facility grade, on NH residents' ADLs. To improve residents' ADLs, subsequent studies are needed to identify the factors affecting ADLs utilizing other variables because this study did not identify factors that affect ADLs.
