Herfindahl Index - Two Kinds

are we supposed to use the corporate finance HFI in the corporate finance section of the test and the equity one in the equity section? one HFI never has a value over 1, which is not true for the corp finance HFi. wtf is going on with this

The HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) is used to determine whether or not is it likely the DOJ will oppose a merger/acquisition based on market share. The other one is used to determine whether or not an industry is competitive (unfavorable) or acts more like an oligopoly (favorable).

I look at this as if they are the same. One has 1,000; 1,000 - 1,8000, above 1,8000. The other has 0.1; 0.1 - 0.18; above 0.18. These two are the same to me.

Damil4real, I think you have an extra zero. It should be 1,800 I believe.

^ right. Typo. 1,000; 1,000 - 1,800, above 1,800.
