Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Missouri - Columbia, 2004.

The purpose of this dissertation was to use develop an organizational economics framework called the Coasian Lens to understand how regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) affects the choice by elevator management to use harvest delivery (HD) or buyer-call (BC) contract structures when sourcing non-GMO soybeans.

520 $a The purpose of this dissertation was to use develop an organizational economics framework called the Coasian Lens to understand how regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) affects the choice by elevator management to use harvest delivery (HD) or buyer-call (BC) contract structures when sourcing non-GMO soybeans.
520 $a Using a discrete dynamic simulation model of elevator operations, transaction costs of using BC and HD contract structures under varying GMO thresholds were measured to test the hypothesis that more stringent GMO thresholds increased the costs of using a similar, HD contract structure more than a dissimilar, BC contract. Results indicated the organization hypothesis failed to be rejected at contract volumes less than 200,000 bushels of non-GMOs, but was rejected at a higher volume equal to 450,000. The implication is at low (high) volumes, elevator management preferred to use a more dissimilar (similar), BC (HD) contract because adaptation costs associated with reduced utilization of capacity were significant (insignificant).
520 $a Key contributions from this research represent the first attempts to: (a) operationalize Coase's (1937) idea of transaction dissimilarity to study industrial organization; (b) comparatively feature the role search and bargaining costs have on the choice of contract structure in identity-preserved (IP) supply chains (c) theoretically and empirically explore the relationships between regulation of agricultural biotechnology, transaction costs, and economic organization in the global agri-food chain; and (d) measure transaction costs using discrete dynamic simulation methods.
