Suppose contracts are hard to draft and enforce, but firm A must invest heavily in a capital asset whose value depends on A’s continued trades with firm B. If A makes this investment on its own, B may try to restructure opportunistically the terms of the contract ex post. To mitigate the risk of such hold ups, predict contract theorists, A and B may negotiate a variety of governance mechanisms they would not otherwise choose. In the extreme, they may even decide to merge. The puzzle to this theory is less in its logic. It is more in its empirics. Over the past two decades, scholars have looked hard for evidence of governance arrangements driven by large relationship-specific investments. Although they find some evidence of such arrangements in idiosyncratic industries like public utilities, aerospace, and defense, they find less evidence in more “ordinary” industries. Within this context, the Japanese automobile industry has played an important symbolic role: an “ordinary” industry thought to be structured by extra-contractual governance arrangements driven by substantial relationship-specific investments. In this article, we re-evaluate that ordinary industry. Despite examining a variety of data on ties among suppliers and assemblers, we find less evidence of large relationship-specific investments than most accounts imply, and less evidence of extra-contractual governance arrangements driven by such investments. Perhaps, we suggest, the time has come to reconsider whether relationship-specific investment theory explains quite as much as we have thought.","subitem_description_type":"Abstract"}]},"item_8_description_6":{"attribute_name":"内容記述","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_description":"本文フィルはリンク先を参照のこと","subitem_description_type":"Other"}]},"item_8_publisher_20":{"attribute_name":"出版者","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_publisher":"日本経済国際共同センター"}]},"item_8_relation_25":{"attribute_name":"関係URI","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_relation_type_id":{"subitem_relation_type_id_text":"http://www.cirje.e.u-tokyo.ac.jp/research/dp/2000/2000cf70.pdf","subitem_relation_type_select":"URI"}}]},"item_8_relation_29":{"attribute_name":"異版あり","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_relation_type":"hasVersion","subitem_relation_type_id":{"subitem_relation_type_id_text":"http://doi.org/10.2307/1290359","subitem_relation_type_select":"URI"}}]},"item_8_source_id_10":{"attribute_name":"書誌レコードID","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_source_identifier":"AA11450569","subitem_source_identifier_type":"NCID"}]},"item_8_subject_15":{"attribute_name":"日本十進分類法","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_subject":"330","subitem_subject_scheme":"NDC"}]},"item_8_text_21":{"attribute_name":"出版者別名","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_text_value":"Center for International Research on the Japanese Economy"}]},"item_8_text_4":{"attribute_name":"著者所属","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_text_value":"University of Tokyo"},{"subitem_text_value":"Harvard University"}]},"item_access_right":{"attribute_name":"アクセス権","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_access_right":"metadata only access","subitem_access_right_uri":"http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_14cb"}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"Miwa, Yoshiro"}],"nameIdentifiers":[{"nameIdentifier":"98782","nameIdentifierScheme":"WEKO"}]},{"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"J., Mark  Ramseyer"}],"nameIdentifiers":[{"nameIdentifier":"98783","nameIdentifierScheme":"WEKO"}]}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"eng"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"資源タイプ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"technical report","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_18gh"}]},"item_title":"Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments : Subcontracting in the Japanese Automobile Industry","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments : Subcontracting in the Japanese Automobile Industry"}]},"item_type_id":"8","owner":"1","path":["7436","7434"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"公開日","attribute_value":"2017-01-17"},"publish_date":"2017-01-17","publish_status":"0","recid":"42947","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["Rethinking Relationship-Specific Investments : Subcontracting in the Japanese Automobile Industry"],"weko_creator_id":"1","weko_shared_id":null},"updated":"2022-12-19T04:18:02.873850+00:00"}
