| dc.description | The papsr has two goals. An attempt is made to relate the
structural characteristics of industries in Kenya to the performance of
industries using the 1963 Census of Industrial Production. Structure
is measured by a concentration index, which incorporates the influence
of foreign competition, while performance is measured by the difference
between average price and average cost, as a percentage of average
price. Secondly, the paper brings evidence to bear on the controversy
over whether the relationship between performance and concentration is
continuous and whether concentration alone partly explains performance or
whether barriers to entry exert an independent influence on performance in addition to concentration. | |
