本文考察了在11世纪为促进以信息不对称和有限的法律的合同可执行性为特征的复杂贸易而使用的经济制度。geniza文件被用来介绍“联盟”，一个经济机构的基础上的声誉机制所使用的地中海商人面对的组织问题与商人和他们的海外代理商之间的交换关系。该理论框架解释了许多与贸易有关的现象，特别是为什么贸易商利用特定形式的商业协会，并指出了社会和经济制度之间的相互关系。
This article examines the economic institution utilized during the eleventh century to facilitate complex trade characterized by asymmetric information and limited legal contract enforceability. The geniza documents are employed to present the “coalition”, an economic institution based upon a reputation mechanism utilized by Mediterranean traders to confront the organizational problem associated with the exchange relations between merchants and their overseas agents. The the oretical framework explains many trade-related phenomena, especially why traders utilized specific forms of business association, and indicates the interrelations between social and economic institutions.
