 The Handbook of Organizational EconomicsRobert Gibbons and John Roberts in Economics Books from Princeton University Press Abstract: In even the most market-oriented economies, most economic transactions occur not in markets but inside managed organizations, particularly business firms. Organizational economics seeks to understand the nature and workings of such organizations and their impact on economic performance. This landmark book assembles the leading figures in organizational economics to present the first comprehensive view of both the current state of research in this fast-emerging field and where it might be headed. The Handbook of Organizational Economics surveys the major theories, evidence, and methods used in the field. It displays the breadth of topics in organizational economics, including the roles of individuals and groups in organizations, organizational structures and processes, the boundaries of the firm, contracts between and within firms, and more. The defining book on the subject, The Handbook of Organizational Economics is essential reading for researchers and students looking to understand this emerging field in economics. The Handbook is divided into six key sections: *Foundations, *Methods, *Within Firms: Individuals and Groups, *Within Firms: Structures and Processes, *Between Firms, and *Beyond Firms.
