Shock summary: effective number of shocks and exposure concentration

Reports the Borusyak-Hull-Jaravel (2022) exposure-concentration diagnostics for the shocks route: the average exposure (importance) weight of each shock, its Herfindahl index, and the *effective number of shocks* \(1/\sum_n \bar s_n^2\). Few effective shocks undermine the large-n asymptotics that justify the shocks-exogeneity approach.

Usage
