Answer:

2,000 to 1,000

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, HHI, is measured by using the market share of each firm in the industry, then square them, and sum the result.

However, supposing that there were only one firm in an industry, that firm would have 100% market share, and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) would equal 10,000, indicating a monopoly.

Thus, in this case, it was initially 5 firms, with no special market share allocated to each of the firm, hence, it is assumed they shared the market share equally, and that will be 2,000 HHI. This shown by each of the 5 firms having 20% market share

HHI = 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² = 2,000

At the same time, since the government breaks the industry up into 10 firms that will share the market equally. Then, the Herfindahl index will be 1,000. This is shown by HHI = 10² * 10 (since it involves 10 firms with equal share of the market) = 1,000.

Therefore, The Herfindahl index for the industry would change from: 2,000 to 1,000.

What developments caused the percentage of Americans who voted to plunge after 1900, and what role did courts play in anti-democ
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The developments that plunged the percentage of American voters after 1900 are:

  • The Seventh Amendment
  • Exclusion of Immigrants
  • African American Voters.

The role played by courts was hostile.

Explanation:

The Seventh Amendment is a part of the Constitution of the United States that gives the right to a jury trial for certain civil cases. The amendment was added to the constitution by Thomas Jefferson on 1st March 1792.

Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 was the act that codifies the immigration to the citizenship of the United States.

The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States gave rights to African Americans to vote. Though this amendment still did not give full rights to the African Slaves to vote, so the government passed the fifteenth Amendment also.

The above developments was the cause of plunged percentage in American votes after 1900.

The role that courts of America played in the development of such anti-democratic reforms was hostile. It did not interfere much in such developments.
