Previous studies generally explain changes in concentration by its initial determinants or by changes in its determinants. Little attention is paid to the dynamic structure of the model. This study provides a framework to sort out adjustment effects in a systematic manner. The empirical model distinguishes long-term from short-term effects and estimates the rate of adjustment when concentration deviates from its long-term equilibrium level.
