The Nature of the Firm: Origins, Evolution, and Development.
本书源自1987年纪念科斯经典论文发表50周年的会议，收录了科斯的三场讲座及多篇论文，探讨交易成本经济学对企业及经济组织的理论解释与实证应用。
This volume derives from a conference held in 1987 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Coase's classic article. The first chapter affords an overview of the volume. It is followed by a republication of the 1937 article, and by the three lectures Coase presented at the conference. These lectures provide a lively and informative history of the origins and development of his thought. Subsequent chapters explore a wide-range of theoretical and empirical issues that have arisen in the transaction cost economic tradition. They illustrate the power of the transaction cost approach to enhance understanding not only of business firms, but of problems of economic organization generally.
