Business and Social Networks in International Trade
综述了跨国网络如何缓解合同执行问题和提供贸易信息，并探讨了国内网络通过影响市场结构对国际贸易的作用，最后提出中介和跨国生产网络促进技术转移的研究方向。
The first two main sections survey the roles of transnational networks in alleviating problems of contract enforcement and providing information about trading opportunities, respectively. The next section covers how domestic networks influence international trade through their impact on domestic market structure. Two overarching questions unify these sections: how do networks affect efficiency, and will networks grow or shrink in importance for international trade over time. The last main sections develop research agendas for two less studied areas: the role of intermediaries who can connect foreign agents to domestic networks and the ability of transnational production networks to facilitate technology transfer.
