Why is Global Concentration Important?
• Given trade and investment, global concentration
captures market structure to a greater extent than
domestic concentration
• Similar to domestic concentration
– Volatility
– Market power
– Efficiency

China’s Effect on Global Concentration
• Reduce concentration because new superstars take
market share from European, Japanese, and American
industrial leaders.
• Increase concentration if Chinese firms are somehow
different, because of domestic market size, labor pool, or
state ownership.

Measures
• Four-firm concentration ratio.
• Herfindahl index—sum of squares of market
shares—reflects the fuller distribution of firms.
(Used in anti-trust legislation.)

Industrial Concentration is Declining

Relationship between
Concentration and China’s Rise
• 10 additional EM firms reduce concentration by half of
one percentage point.
• An additional Chinese SOE in the top 4 increases
concentration by 5 percentage points.

Concentration with and without SOEs
![Page 15: Presentation: Global Concentration and the Rise of ChinaFeb 07, 2017 · China’s Effect on Global Concentration • Reduce concentration because new superstars take market share](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071216/6047d5db2b4ee2148b435ade/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Chinese SOEs and Concentration
Sectors most affected by Chinese SOEs
Broad Sectors (Contribution >4%) Tradables (Contribution >5%)
Civil engineering Forging, pressing, stamping of
metal
Mining support Manufacture of railways
Mining of coal and lignite Support activities for oil and gas
extraction
Professional services Transport equipment
Petroleum and natural gas Extraction of crude petroleum

Concentration and Efficiency
• Are more productive firms larger?
• Is productivity growth correlated with firm size growth?
• Is global allocative efficiency higher in tradables?
• Are SOEs different?
![Page 17: Presentation: Global Concentration and the Rise of ChinaFeb 07, 2017 · China’s Effect on Global Concentration • Reduce concentration because new superstars take market share](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071216/6047d5db2b4ee2148b435ade/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
More Productive Firms are Larger
![Page 18: Presentation: Global Concentration and the Rise of ChinaFeb 07, 2017 · China’s Effect on Global Concentration • Reduce concentration because new superstars take market share](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071216/6047d5db2b4ee2148b435ade/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SOEs are Less Productive
![Page 19: Presentation: Global Concentration and the Rise of ChinaFeb 07, 2017 · China’s Effect on Global Concentration • Reduce concentration because new superstars take market share](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071216/6047d5db2b4ee2148b435ade/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Empirical Analysis on Allocative Efficiency
• More productive firms (revenue or value added per
worker) are larger and grow faster.
• Especially in tradables.
• Chinese SOEs are too large and growing too fast given
productivity.

SOE Results in Context
• The results are for a handful of sectors in 2006-2014.
• Lardy (2014) also finds that for some products SOEs
remain important, and there is a recent resurgence.
• OECD finds that share of sectors, with high
concentration, fell from 1998-2008. But, 21 sectors with
high concentration & majority state ownership remain.
• Huang (2008) & Hsieh and Zheng (2016) discuss
privatization & consolidation of large SOEs.

Conclusions
• In aggregate, global concentration is falling, partly as a
result of rising emerging market firms.
• Chinese SOEs raise global concentration in a handful of
industries.
• Evidence that global allocative efficiency is strong, but
SOEs are distorting it.
