Abstract
The structural paradigm emphasizes that the nature of competition in a market, is closely related to the structure of the market and in particular its level of concentration. The objective of this research work is to present empirical evidence on the structure and nature of competition in the market for financial audit services in Mexico during the period from 2000 to year 2007. To do this, we have calculated several measures of concentration, using a sample of 1,344 financial audit reports of companies that are registered as issuers of shares in the capital market of the Stock Exchange in Mexico. The results show that the market for financial audit market in Mexico is highly concentrated and under the control of a few audit firms, specifically of Large International Firms, better known in the field business around the world as the “Big 4”. Also the results show that the nature of the competition in the market for financial audit services in Mexico is that, in imperfect markets, known as an oligopoly.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
