Entropy Measures of Spatial Concentration in Poultry Processing

Author

Listed:
  • Sporleder, Thomas L.

Abstract

The theory of industrial organization provides a conceptual base for investigation of the market structure of specialized industries. A number of measures of concentration exist which have been applied to market structure investigations. These measures are utilized to quantify seller concentration in an effort to classify individual markets with respect to relative competitiveness.
