The property rights theory of production networks
Balbuzanov, Ivan; Kotowski, Maciej H. - 2024
This paper investigates the formation of production and trading networks in economies with general interdependencies and complex property rights. We argue that the right to exclude, a core tenet of property, grants asset owners local monopoly power that is amplified by an economy's endogenous...
