Contract Farming in Developing Countries: An overview (2008, unknown): “This self-enforcement mechanism of agricultural contracts has been found both in developed countries (e.g., Allen and Lueck, 2003; Bogetoft and Olesen, 2004) and developing countries (e.g. Key and Runsten, 1999).”
Organizational Issues in the Agrifood Sector: Toward a Comparative Approach (2004, unknown): “Allen and Lueck (2003) argue that this ownership pattern results from agriculture’s unique combination of seasonality and random variation, which makes it difficult to design and enforce effective incentive contracts that minimize moral hazard.”
The common agricultural policy and the determinants of changes in EU farm size (2013, background): “In their explanation of transaction costs, the authors have mainly considered farm characteristics connected with social capital or education as key elements explaining different behaviours (Allen and Lueck, 2002; Deininger et al., 2008).”
