MONOPOLISM AND EFFECTIVENESS OF ANTIMONOPOLY POLICY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
The processes of monopolism, understood not only as the dominance of one company in the market, but also the concentration of market power within one or two firms, ultimately leads to a deterioration of competition conditions. The calculation of the level of monopolism can be calculated through the concentration index (CR) and the Herfindahl-Hirschmann index (NN). The decrease in the value of these indices indicates a decrease in the level of monopolism and the success of the antimonopoly policy pursued in a particular country of the world. The article presents the results of calculation and interpretation of CR and HH indices in the field of electronics and information technology production in the USA and Germany. Based on the calculations carried out, it is concluded that the level of monopolism in this area is increasing in the USA and decreasing in Germany. The calculations carried out illustrate the success of the European antimonopoly policy system.
