Answer: Diversifies risk

Explanation:

The main purpose of having a portfolio is to be able to diversify risk so that a total loss is not made if things do not go well. As such, well diversified portfolios are able to reduce their unsystematic risk.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The use of data aggregation leads to overstatement of the  concentration and Herfindahl indices

while the use of National/state data leads to understatement of the degree of concentration in local markets.

Explanation:

The ratio of concentration and Herfindahl indices computed are mainly made up of foreign players while  the contributions of small local unorganized players are not considered, which leads to the increase in the value of  indices and ratios been used, ( i.e. The use of data aggregation ) .  hence the overstatement of the actual level.

The understatement of the degree of concentration in local markets happens because of the use of national and state data while computing the concentration in the local markets like gasoline and this is mainly caused by the presence of fewer industries in the market. The state and national data does not reflect the true concentration in the local market hence the degree of concentration is understated at the local level.
