| Abstract: | The authors show that a model of undifferentiated price competition closely predicts US audit market concentration. Contracting practices, client size distributions and differences in auditor productivity jointly determine audit firms' market shares. In contrast to prior literature, neither quality differences nor economies of scale for larger firms are necessary in this model to explain audit market concentration. |
