This paper is aimed at exploring the relationship between taxes and market structure within the framework of the relationships among three variables “industry’s monopolist power” (market concentration degree), “tax” (corporate income effective tax rate), and “company’s start up costs” (represented by “capital inventory”). The period covered is 1995-2005. The estimation has been done through making use of Schumpeter, Galbraith, and Sutton’s ideas. Findings of this paper are consistent with Schumpeter and Sutton’s ideas since they show that with an increase in the tax rates, the market monopolist power increases while an increase in the capital inventory will make it more difficult for the firms to get into the industry and as a result, both the market monopolist power and the market concentration degree will go up.
