| Abstract: | This paper investigates the role of government in the determination of equilibrium market structure under imperfect competition. We show that market size, the degree of monopoly, and fixed cost for a plant are crucial. Multinational firms are likely to emerge in an economy with large markets, but the degree of monopoly may restrict this possibility. A higher degree of monopoly creates an incentive for governments to subsidize, and intra-industry trade may occur even in an economy with large markets. (JEL F12, F23, L13) |
