A novel borrowing strength measure and an overall borrowing index to characterize the strength of borrowing behaviors among subgroups are proposed for a given Bayesian hierarchical model. The constructions of the proposed indexes are based on the Mallow's distance and can be easily computed using MCMC samples for univariate or multivariate posterior distributions. Consequently, the proposed indexes can serve as meaningful and useful exploratory tools to better understand the roles played by the priors in a hierarchical model, including
