Abstract

The paper provides a descriptive analysis of the concentration and inequality among the 100 largest companies in the Bulgarian non-financial sector in the period from 2000 to 2015. For this purpose, data used are sales figures provided by the annual ranking Capital 100. Established statistical measures of concentration and disparity are applied to the data: concentration ratio, Herfindahl index and Gini coefficient. The empirical results suggest stabilization of the positions of the 10 largest companies, but at the same time growing importance of companies in the second half, i.e. of these with positions from 51 to 100.
