Trust and inter‐firm relations in developing and transition economies
区分了市场有效所需的最低信任与深度企业间合作所需的扩展信任，并探讨前苏联共和国缺乏最低信任的原因以及发展中国家供应链和集群中扩展信任的培育方式。
The role of trust in facilitating economic growth has been highlighted in previous contributions to this journal. In order to take this debate forward, this article argues (1) that more attention needs to be given to the relationship between sanctions and trust, and (2) that it is worth distinguishing between the minimal trust for making markets effective and the extended trust required for deeper kinds of inter‐firm co‐operation to work. The article goes on to ask why minimal trust is lacking and so hard to construct in the republics of the former Soviet Union. It then examines how extended trust grows or can be made to grow in industrial supply chains and clusters in developing countries.
