中药材产业链纵向协作模式的交易成本分析

Analysis on Transaction Costs of Different Vertical Coordination Modes in Traditional Chinese Medicine Materials Industry Chain

中药材产业链纵向协作模式是指药农、药商和中药工业企业等上下游环节主体之间的协作关系,分为市场交易、合同、合作组织和纵向一体化四种类型。不同的纵向协作模式在产业链产出最终产品的过程中发挥着不同的作用,其资源配置的效率也有所不同,主要源于其交易成本不同。论文通过对我国中药材产业链不同纵向协作模式的交易成本进行比较分析,探索现阶段我国国情下较为适用的中药材产业链纵向协作模式,以便为中药材产业链的整合提供理论指导。

Vertical coordination modes in traditional Chinese medicine materials industry chain, which means the cooperative rela- tionships of different market parties such as medicinal herb growers and collectors, merchants and manufacturers, can be divided into market transaction, contract form, cooperative organization and vertical integration. Due to different transaction costs, there are great differences in the efficiency of resource allocation among different vertical coordination modes. In order to explore a more applicable vertical coordination mode and provide theoretical guidance for the integration of traditional Chinese medicine materials industry chain, the analysis and comparison on transaction costs of different vertical coordination modes were carried out in the paper.
