Law & Economics Working Papers
This paper is about firms as an instance of economic coordination, and about how we think about them in relation to other forms of coordination as well as in relation to competition and markets. The dominant frame for thinking about firms--which has strongly influenced contemporary competition law as well as serving as a vital adjunct to the fundamental concepts of neoclassical price theory that guide many areas of law and policy--implicitly or explicitly explains and justifies the centralization of both decision-making rights and flows of income from economic activity on productive efficiency grounds. We have very good reasons to doubt …

Finally, we use an information experiment …

Farmworkers in Washington State play a crucial role in food production and distribution, and the success of Washington’s economy rests heavily on its agricultural industry. The agricultural sector employs the greatest amount of people in Washington, “generates more than $5.3 billion in direct revenue, and has a total estimated economic impact on the state of more than $28 billion each year.” In Washington State, there are about 36,000 farms, which encompass 15.3 million acres, “or 37 percent of the state’s land mass.”
