“…The author found that the U.S. manufacturing sector has become more competitive in 1997 and noted that international trade has a significant role in keeping the U.S. manufacturing industries competitive. International trade has more influence on electronic product manufacturing and transportation equipment manufacturing than the other subsectors (Abdel-Raouf, 2009) which also explains the results of this exploratory study in terms of CR and HHI values in PC vs. U.S. manufacturing industry.…”

“…On the example of the U.S. equity market, Griffin (2018) reasons that globalization leads to the reallocation of market shares (higher concentration) within the industry by harming small firms only. Research on the market structure of the U.S. economy, in general, is scarce and dated (Abdel-Raouf, 2009). The author found that the U.S. manufacturing sector has become more competitive in 1997 and noted that international trade has a significant role in keeping the U.S. manufacturing industries competitive.…”

“…In the manufacturing sector, 40% of the NAICS industries exactly match the SIC, 38% are combinations of two or more SIC industries, and 22% are subsets of the SIC industries (Abdel-Raouf, 2009 1997. In 2002, the average CR 4 in the manufacturing sector is 43.6%, up two-anda-half percentage points from its 1997 value, 41.1%.…”

This paper incorporates international trade into the four‐firm concentration ratio to get a more realistic measure of market structure in the US manufacturing sector using 1997 and 2002 NAICS data. As expected, trade‐adjusted CR4 is significantly lower than the published CR4. Moreover, the effect of international trade is higher in 2002 than in 1997, offsetting the increase in domestic concentration and leaving the US manufacturing sector in 2002 as competitive as it was in 1997. Furthermore, different tests are used to check the validity of the results. All of them confirm that trade‐adjusted CR4s are significantly lower than their published counterparts.Concentration Ratio, International Trade, Manufacturing Sector, NAICS, L11, L60,

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo establecer la estructura de mercado de la industria de fabricación de colchones en el Ecuador y las relaciones que presentan las variables concentración, precios del mercado local, tipo de cambio y rentabilidad. Se utiliza un modelo de regresión de ecuaciones simultáneas de mínimos cuadrados en tres etapas (MC3E) con información de las empresas con mayor cuota de mercado del sector. La concentración de mercado se calcula utilizando el índice Herfindahl – Hirschman. Los principales resultados exhiben que existe una estructura de mercado imperfecta y que la cuota de mercado incide en la rentabilidad del oligopolio. El oligopolio a su vez no ejerce poder de mercado, por la competitividad en precios de los colchones importados.
