Abstract

This paper provides a dynamic general equilibrium framework to investigate how organizations change the modes to govern transactions over time. We show that the agency problem becomes less serious when the economy is developed well so that large market size favors decentralized organizations having more specialization. We then show that different organizational modes endogenously emerge even in the same economy and cause endogenous process of economic development.
