Theory of the Firm explores why firms exist, the boundaries of firms, and the organization of firms. Some of the theories that will be looked at are the transaction cost theory, assest specificity, and property rights. We will also explore principal-agent modeling, which looks at how firm owners can incentivize managers to take specific actions.
Prereq: ECON-212.
