Abstract

A simple and informative measure of the degree of monopoly power (DMP) that a manufacturing firm of industry enjoys is the ratio of the value added in its output to the labour cost of producing the output. This paper has established that the degree of monopoly power in the U.S. manufacturing sector rose more or less continuously over the years 1949-1996. It Canada it was slightly higher than in the U.S. in 1949 but it remained flat until about 1982, and from 1982 to 1996, the DMP rose, but at a lower rate than in the U.S.
