Abstract
- Abstract--This paper examines the extent of small plant market share and the degree of suboptimal plant market share in the Canadian manufacturing sector in the 1970s at the 4-digit level of disaggregation. It does so by comparing the Canadian plant size distribution to the American so as to provide a standard for what might be considered suboptimal and then uses regression analysis to find the relationship between small plant market share and a set of explanatory variables which include market size, concentration, and tariff protection. It finds that the deleterious effect of tariffs is primarily found in highly concentrated industries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
