Features: This book combines the logic of institutional analysis to integrate New Institutional Economics and Marxist Economics, studying the laws of enterprise institutional change. On this basis, it establishes a model of enterprise institutional change and uses this model to empirically test the laws of enterprise institutional change. Through empirical examination, it concludes that the comprehensive analytical framework of enterprise institutional analysis proposed in this book can not only explain the history of enterprise institutional formation and evolution but also make better predictions about the present and future of enterprise institutions. Through the theoretical discussion and empirical examination above, this book attempts to answer several important questions that still puzzle the economics community: Why do firms exist? Why do they change from one institutional form to another? Where is the effective boundary of firms? At the same time, it attempts to explain the key factors behind the institutional change of enterprises.
