Abstract

The authors show how institutional arrangements, which consist of contracting, ownership, and social elements, tie together the joint profits, or efficiency, of the marketing system. They use a criterion of remediable efficiency to develop a design framework for institutional arrangements and illustrate the process by designing a recycling system for newspapers. The authors close with an empirical research agenda and extract five institutional design principles for managers.
