Original and Derived Judgment: An Entrepreneurial Theory of Economic Organization (2007, background): “8 Our notion of ‘more constrained’ and ‘less constrained’ employment relations includes, but is broader than, the notion of contractual completeness in the transaction cost literature (e.g. Crocker and Masten 1991; Crocker and Reyonlds 1993; Saussier 2000).”
The Entrepreneurial Organization of Heterogeneous Capital (2007, background): “Masten, 1991; Crocker and Reynolds, 1993; Saussier, 2000 ), they generally focus on asset specificity, not monitoring costs, as the independent variable.”
Trust and Formal Contracts in Interorganizational Relationships - Substitutes and Complements (2007, background): “More generally, Saussier (2000) provides evidence that the degree of contractual completeness measured by the number of clauses specified in the contract varies with the attributes of the transaction.”
How to Design Franchise Contracts: The Role of Contractual Hazards and Experience (2012, unknown): “The empirical evidence supports this idea (Goldberg & Erickson, 1987; Crocker & Masten, 1988; Joskow, 1988; Dyer, 1997; Saussier, 2000; Poppo & Zenger, 2002; Reuer & Ariño, 2003, 2007).”
Strategic Fit in Industrial Alliances: An Empirical Test of Governance Value Analysis (2005, background): “They are volume uncertainty, which is defined asthe inaccuracy in forecasting requirements from the supplier (Saussier 2000); technological uncertainty, which isdefined asthe uncertainty arising from technological changes in the development a d manufacture of the component (Bensaou and Anderson…”
Untangling Safeguard and Production Coordination Effects in Long-Term Buyer-Supplier Relationships (2008, background): “Contract duration specifies a longer time period that signals an appropriate horizon within which the return on specialized investments is to be secured (Helper, 1991; Joskow, 1988; Saussier, 2000).”
Make, buy, or ally: A transaction cost theory meta-analysis (2006, background): “To date, six major narrative reviews of transaction cost theory (Boerner & Macher, 2002; Joskow, 1988; Lyons, 1996; Masten & Saussier, 2000; Rindfleisch & Heide, 1997; Shelanski & Klein, 1995) have been presented.”
The Make-or-Buy Decision: Lessons from Empirical Studies (2004, methodology): “As Saussier (2000) points out, however, both this study and Crocker and Masten’s (1991) analysis of incompleteness in natural-gas contracting rely on highly indirect measures of asset specificity.”
Hybrid Modes of Organization. Alliances, Joint Ventures, Networks, and Other 'Strange' Animals (2013, background): “…inherent in perceptions of the state of the environment, irrespective of 22 There are some tests on the role of uncertainty in decisions to integrate, e.g., Anderson (1985) and Saussier (2000), who estimated the role of uncertainty in the ‘make’ or ‘buy’ trade-off. its change over time.””

Transaction Cost Economics: An Assessment of Empirical Research in the Social Sciences (2006, unknown): “Only a handful of studies, however, have made efforts in this regard (Lyons 1995; Saussier 2000).”
