Abstract

Serbian: Анализа концентрације, као једног од основних појмова у економској теорији, већ дуги низ деценија привлачи пажњу истраживача и креатора економске политике. У оквиру великог броја приступа и метода за њено мерење издвојила се класа тзв. апсолутних мера, а у њој индекс концентрације Cm (најчешће C4) и Хиршман-Херфиндалов индекс CH. Временом су развијене и друге мере, као што је Розенблатов, а једна од последњих је Кволсетов индекс. У раду се на основу података за банковни сектор Србије (без Косова и Метохије) за период 2016–2021 анализира понашање ових индекса и њихова међусобна корелисаност. Показано је да су три индекса доста чврсто корелисана, док кретање Розенблатовог у значајној мери одступа. English: Concentration analysis, as one of the basic concepts in economic theory, has been attracting the attention of researchers and economic policy makers for many decades. Within the large number of approaches and methods for its measurement, a class of so-called absolute measures, and in it the concentration index Cm (most often C4) and the Hirschman-Herfindahl index CH. Over time, other measures were developed, such as Rosenbluth's, and one of the last is the Kvålseth index. The paper analyzes the behavior of these indices and their mutual correlation based on data for the banking sector of Serbia (without Kosovo and Metohija) for the period 2016-2021. It is shown that the three indices are quite strongly correlated, while the movement of Rosenbluth’s deviates significantly.
