註釋
We investigate the relationship between accident rates and industry structure for the United States steel industry during the first four decades of the 20th century. We develop a dominant firm theoretical model linking accident rates to number of competitors, showing a positive correlation between accident avoidance and the number of fringe competitors. We then test this theory empirically and, when controlling for other influences, find that reductions in the dominant firms market share reduce worker injury rates substantially.
