Citations in the corpus
- Four formal(izable) theories of the firm (2005, background): “More detailed investigation of the GM–Fisher case has produced many additional facts, some of which seem counter to the simple story told above; see Coase (2000) , Freeland (2000), Casadesus-Masanell and Spulber (2000), and Helper et al. (2000).”
- Corporate Suppliers and Customers and Accounting Conservatism (2012, unknown): “For instance, Coase (1972) argues that durable goods monopolists are only able to enjoy market power for a limited period of time because once an initial amount of output is sold the monopolist will need to cut its price to obtain further profits and this continues until price falls to marginal cost”
- Pragmatic Collaborations: Advancing Knowledge While Controlling Opportunism (2000, background): “the most efficient manufacturing companies of its day (Coase, 2000).”
- Untangling Safeguard and Production Coordination Effects in Long-Term Buyer-Supplier Relationships (2008, background): “Within this context, as Coase (2006) argued, asset specificity is immaterial for firms to benefit from more hierarchical governance modes.”
- Transaction Cost Economics: An Assessment of Empirical Research in the Social Sciences (2006, unknown): “Other case studies examine variations in ocean shipping contracts (Pirrong 1993), organizational arrangements in the French poultry industry (Menard 1996), the interaction of political institutions, regulatory processes and economic conditions for telecommunications regulation (Levy and Spiller 1994”
- Incentives and the Efficiency of Public Sector-Outsourcing Contracts (2005, background): “In fact, even the Fisher Body case has been disputed as an example of hold-up by Coase, (2000) , who had first-hand experience of the relationship.”
