Abstract: Abstract Much of Tomer’s publications and research was related to the theory of the firm and its empirical foundations and very much influenced by the writings of Harvey Leibenstein, a pioneer in behavioral economics and behavioral theories of the firm. At the same time, Tomer’s approach to theories of the firm and his analyses is not consistent, on many points, with Leibenstein’s writings. This chapter critically discusses both the consistencies and the inconsistencies between Tomer’s and Leibenstein’s conceptualization of the firm.
