Abstract: | This study uses the theory of network externalities in applying transaction cost economics (TCE) to inter-mediator transactions. A network specifity is proposed as an additional form of asset specificity associated with such transactions. In specific, two integration decisions that are distinctive to mediators and that both depend on network specificity are identified and analyzed: the network integration of nodes and the vertical integration of complement exchange activities. |
