Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test market structure-performance hypothesis in banking industry in Kenya. Specifically, the structure-conduct-performance (SCP) and market efficiency hypotheses were examined to determine how market concentration and efficiency affect bank performance in Kenya. Design/methodology/approach – The study used secondary data of 44 commercial banks operating from 2000 to 2009. Three proxies to measure bank performance were used while market concentration and market share were used as proxies for market structure. Market concentration was measured using two concentration measures; the concentration ratio of the four largest banks (CR4) and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, while market share was used as a proxy for efficiency. The study made use of generalized least square regression method. Findings – The empirical results confirm that market efficiency hypothesis is a predictor of firm performance in the banking sector in Kenya and rejects the traditional SCP hypothesis. Thus, the results support the view that efficient banks maximize profitability. Practical implications – The study provides insights into the role of efficiency in enhancing profitability in commercial banks in Kenya. It has managerial implication that profitable banks ought to be efficient and dispels the notion of collusive behavior as a precursor for profitability. Originality/value – The paper fills an important gap in the extant literature by proving insights into what determines bank profitability in banking sector in Kenya. Although this area is rich in research, little work has been conducted in the developing economies and in particular no study in the knowledge has addressed this critical issue in Kenya.

The article proved that in the context of European integration, the intensification of competition between producers becomes a major factor of the consolidation and unification of various economic entities, because this is one of the main ways to increase competitiveness, which in turn leads to market concentration. The investigation of the market structure, its type, and hence the economic processes occurring in it, is directly related to determining the state of the competitive environment, its assessment and study of the possibilities of restricting or developing competition. The article reveals the basic principles of development of agricultural enterprises, highlights the problems and prospects of their development in a competitive environment. The importance of concentration indicators in the context of the relationship between monopoly power and the level of concentration of sellers in the market is substantiated. Methodological aspects of using the market concentration index and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index are analysed; their advantages, disadvantages and possibilities of use in the process of market structure research, its type, state of competitive environment and degree of monopolization are revealed. In the process of research the concentration of agricultural markets, it was found that there was a moderate level in almost all types of products in Ukraine, only the pork market is highly concentrated. Analysis of the competitiveness of agricultural products shows that a significant market share is occupied by crops such as sunflower and corn. Studies show that there are certain types of products that have a high level of profitability, including rapeseed and barley, but they occupy a small market share. It is established that to ensure competitive production of agricultural products requires state support of the industry through the provision of tax and credit benefits to enterprises that implement modern business methods. Further prospects for the development of the agricultural sector in Ukraine have been identified.

Abstract- The determinants of bank performance can be grouped into three groups, namely; 1) bank specific factors related to management decisions and policy objectives, 2) industry factors related to industrial structure and market growth, and 3) macroeconomic factors that reflect the economic conditions in which the bank operates. This study analyzes the effect of bank-specific factors and industry factors on banking performance using panel data regression analysis on a sample of 39 Indonesian Commercial Banks during the 2015-2019 period. Bank specific factors consist of bank size, efficiency, and capital adequacy, while the industrial factor in this study is the market structure which includes market concentration and market share. Banking performance is measured by Return on Equity and Net Interest Margin. The results of this study indicate that bank size and efficiency (BOPO) has a negative and significant effect on banking performance. Capital adequacy and market concentration have no effect on banking performance. Meanwhile, the market share variable has a positive and significant effect on banking performance as measured by Net Interest Margin but does not affect banking performance as measured by Return on Equity. Keywords : bank size, efficiency, capital adequacy, market structure, banking performance Abstrak- Determinan kinerja bank dapat dikelompokkan menjadi tiga kelompok yaitu ; 1) faktor spesifik bank yang terkait dengan keputusan manajemen dan tujuan kebijakan, 2) faktor industri yang terkait struktur industri dan pertumbuhan pasar, dan 3) faktor makroekonomi yang mencerminkan keadaan ekonomi dimana bank beroperasi. Penelitian  ini menganalisis pengaruh faktor spesifik bank dan faktor industri terhadap kinerja perbankan dengan menggunakan analisis regresi data panel pada sampel dari 39 Bank Umum Konvensional Indonesia selama periode 2015-2019. Faktor spesifik bank terdiri atas ukuran bank, efisiensi, dan kecukupan modal sedangkan faktor industri dalam penelitian ini adalah struktur pasar yang meliputi konsentrasi pasar dan pangsa pasar. Kinerja perbankan diukur dengan Return on Equity dan Net Interest Margin. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan hasil bahwa variabel ukuran bank dan efisiensi (BOPO) memiliki pengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja perbankan. Variabel kecukupan modal dan konsentrasi pasar tidak berpengaruh terhadap kinerja perbankan. Sedangkan variabel pangsa pasar memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja perbankan yang diukur dengan Net Interest Margin namun tidak berpengaruh terhadap kinerja perbankan yang diukur dengan Return on Equity. Keywords : ukuran bank, efisiensi, kecukupan modal, struktur pasar, kinerja perbankan

The article examines the change in audience and revenue concentration in the Lithuanian television, radio, internet, and newspaper markets in 2008–2019, as well as discusses the factors that determined the changes in media concentration and market structure. The study revealed that without any special measures to regulate media concentration in Lithuania, all four media revenue markets (television, radio, internet, and newspapers) have become highly concentrated. In terms of audience (circulation) concentration, the concentration of newspaper and television markets was divided between un concentrated and moderately concentrated areas, the radio audience was moderately concentrated, and the audience of internet news websites was highly concentrated. The results of the analysis show a tendency for audience concentration in media markets to be generally lower than income market concentration. Therefore, when legally defining a dominant position in media markets, it is recommended to set a lower value for audience share than for revenue market share.

Empirical Results

This paper illustrates the relationship between industry concentration and performance in Taiwans mutual fund industry. Our research mainly focuses on the relation between a funds average performance and market structure. Typically, a funds manager who faces price uncertainty will dedicate his efforts to determine the scale and compositions of portfolio to achieve a better performance in the near future. Since mutual funds are price takers, the empirical results for this industry may go beyond the scope of the SCP paradigm. This study focuses on the open-end equity mutual fund in the Taiwan market, which can be viewed as one representative of emerging markets. Employing three measures of market structure, we find that the higher degree of market concentration always associates with poor performance, which contradicts the structure-conduct-performance (SCP) hypothesis. More interestingly, when market shares of mutual funds have been considered, our empirical results show a U-shape structure-performance relation for mutual funds. When a funds market share becomes larger, the negative influence on fund performance of market concentration will get stronger. Similarly, the smaller a funds market share the stronger negative impact on fund performance of market concentration, suggesting that mutual funds endowed with too weak or too strong market power can erode their performance. More importantly, these results offer a new thinking toward the mutual fund industrys organization policy for authorities; that is, maintaining a high competitive environment and encouraging mutual funds to keep moderate and efficient scale is a better way to achieve superior fund performance.

Market structure is one of the things that determines potential occurance of price fixing. Market characteristics with large entry barriers for newcomers causing difficulties for competitors to enter so that there are no substitutes. Distributor is one of the business actors namely a national trading company that acts for and in its own name based on an agreement with the principal to make purchases, storage, sales and marketing of goods and/or services. There are pricing activities in business activities carried out by distributors with their networks in controlled markets, so the main issue in this study is whether the pricing is included in the price fixing agreement which is prohibited by the Law Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition. The approach used to analyze the problem is statute and conceptual approach to examine and find legal concepts that are relevant to the issues raised, thus finding a way out and produce solution for business actors to become more competitive and avoid anti-competitive behavior.business competition, price fixing, market share, distributors, principals

In the pre-reform era, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) dominated the Indian life insurance market with a market share close to 100 percent. But the situation drastically changed since the enactment of the IRDA Act in 1999. At the end of the FY 2012-13, the market share of LICI stood at around 73 percent with the number of players having risen to 24 in the countrys life insurance sector. One of the reasons for such a decline in the market share of LICI during the post-reform period could be attributed to the increasing competition prevailing in the countrys life insurance sector. At the same time, the liberalization of the life insurance sector for private participation has eventually raised issues about ensuring sound financial performance and solvency of the life insurance companies besides protection of the interest of policyholders. The present study is an attempt to evaluate and compare the financial performances, solvency, and the market concentration of the four leading life insurers in India namely the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI), ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited (ICICI PruLife), HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited (HDFC Standard), and SBI Life Insurance Company Limited (SBI Life), over a span of five successive FYs 2008-09 to 2012-13. In this regard, the CARAMELS model has been used to evaluate the performances of the selected life insurers, based on the Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) as published by IMF. In addition to this, the Solvency and the Market Concentration Analyses were also presented for the selected life insurers for the given period. The present study revealed the preexisting dominance of LICI even after 15 years since the privatization of the countrys life insurance sector.

Underlying Variable

Previous research on market concentration in banking is heavily tilted towards using deposits as the underlying variable for measuring market concentration. This paper proposes a change in methodology by replacing deposits with the Variable profit function based on Barnett and Hahm’s Economic model for Financial Institutions, used in their 1994 paper. This model has also been successfully used in Dr. William A. Barnett’s successive research. Hancock 1997 also proposes using a similar methodology for modelling banks as Economic firms. Results change dramatically once deposits are substituted by variable profits, and a confounding puzzle is solved, involving one of South Asia’s thriving banking markets.
