A note: Constant Market Share Analysis

Bonanno, Graziella (2014): A note: Constant Market Share Analysis.

Abstract

Abstract Constant Market Share Analysis (CMSA) is a method which decomposes the variation of market shares of any trader country. The more recent version is proposed by Fagerberg and Sollie (1985) that avoids some limits deriving from previously specifications. After explicating how CMSA works, this note presents some applications to the Italian case and its most important contribution, which is the formal derivation of market share variation.
