          Abstract

          El objetivo del presente documento es obtener una medición del grado de concentración observado en la industria del automóvil en España por segmentos, para obtener una valoración en términos de competencia interna. Se consideran las ventas de automóviles nuevos en los años 2008, 2009 y 2010 en España, distinguiendo modelo de vehículo y segmento al que pertenece. Con tales datos, se realiza una aproximación a los índices de entropía y de Herfindahl. Tras el análisis de resultados obtenidos, se concluye que los segmentos de vehículos SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) y Todoterreno muestran las situaciones más extremas, en cuanto a mayor y menor concentración respectivamente, acogiendo éste último la mayor competencia interna. Por otro lado, no se manifiesta una tendencia uniforme en la totalidad de los segmentos en el trienio observado, lo que indica un comportamiento heterogéneo.

          The aim of this paper is to measure the degree of concentration observed in the automotive industry in Spain by market segments, to obtain an assessment in terms of internal competition. New car sales in Spain were examined for 2008, 2009 and 2010, distinguishing these by model and category of vehicles. This data allowed an approach to entropy and Herfindahl indexes. The results obtained supported the conclusion that SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) and off-road vehicles show the most extreme situations, with major and minor concentrations respectively. The latter category experienced greater internal competition. On the other hand, a uniform tendency is not manifested by all market segments for the three years studied, indicating a heterogeneous behaviour.
