Suppose there are N=8 hospitals in the market, and each of them has an equal share of the market (1/8). What is the value of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index in this hospital market? One of the hospitals gets a fancy new cardiac surgery facility, and takes market share from the other hospitals. Now its market share is 85%, and the other 7 hospitals split the remaining 15% of the market equally. What is the value of the HHI in this case? Are each of these markets competitive or concentrated?
