Particular requirements for institutional analysis in nature-related sectors
针对农业、渔业等自然相关行业，提出一个基于结构模块性和过程功能依赖性的制度分析框架，帮助理解和管理涉及自然系统的交易。
Agriculture, horticulture, fishery and forestry are nature-related sectors that interact frequently with natural systems. This interaction represents a source of enforcement problems and transaction costs in the context of governing transactions. Institutional analytical frameworks used in agricultural economics should consider the particular properties of transactions involving natural systems. For ordering nature-related transactions, we propose a heuristic framework based on two dimensions: ‘modularity and decomposability of structures’ and ‘functional interdependence of processes’. It serves as a starting point for establishing a typology ranging from ‘atomistic-isolated transactions’ to ‘complex-interconnected transactions’. The complex process of institutionalising such transactions is decomposed into conceptual categories by means of a ‘transaction-interdependence cycle’.
