| Tiivistelmä: | Selecting the type of contract is an important aspect of governing interfirm transactions. This paper examines the use of fixed-fee and time-and-materials (T&M, or cost-plus) contracts and a hybrid contract that consists of a T&M contract with a cap. In addition to uncertainty and measurement factors, a relatively un-explored aspect of contracting, namely how the prior relationship between the companies influences the type of contract the companies select, is addressed. The results indicate that T&M contracts are preferred when the cost of measuring quality ex post is high and when it is difficult to estimate costs ex ante. |
