• Agency, structure, and the dominance of OEMs: Change and stability in the automotive sector (2016, background): “26 Coase (2006) challenges the established wisdom on the canonical example of TCE, suggesting that the Fisher Body acquisition of GM in 1926 (Klein, Crawford, and Alchian, 1978) was a foible.”
• Corporate Suppliers and Customers and Accounting Conservatism (2012, background): “Coase (2000, 2006), however, is skeptical that Klein et al. (1978)’s use of the Fisher Body-General Motors case is an example of post-contractual opportunistic behavior and argues that in some contexts such opportunism is not a major determinant of industrial organization.”
