企业契约联结的结构与运行:一个分析框架

Structure and Functioning of Contractual Nexus of a Firm:An Analytical Framework

利用企业契约理论框架的分析思路,本文对企业内部契约联结的结构和运行本质进行了深入分析。依据企业内部这一系列契约内容和功能的不同,可以把这些契约分为要素使用权交易契约和会计契约两种。要素使用权交易契约规定企业内部生产要素的组织结构和权利安排方式,它最终决定企业所有权即剩余索取权的分享状态,会计契约则决定企业剩余的计量方式。企业内部要素使用权交易契约和会计契约的耦合与互动构成企业契约的签订与履行过程。
