Cooperation and Mistrust in Relational Contracts
2016
Social Science Research Network
Abstract Work and trade relationships are often governed by relational contracts, in which incentives for cooperative action today stem from the prospective future benefits of the relationship. ...
This can impede the joint understanding of what constitutes cooperative behavior, and may thus inject mistrust into relationships, even if credibility is held constant. ...
Introduction The theory of relational contracts investigates the conditions under which cooperative and efficient behavior is sustainable through repeated interaction even if contracts are not enforceable ...
