企业面临的一个关键决策是对其生产过程中不同阶段施加的控制程度。我们建立并检验了价值链上企业边界选择的产权模型。我们通过将100多个国家公司生产活动的信息与投入产出表结合起来，构建了综合和非综合投入上游的公司一级衡量标准。一家公司是否整合上游或下游供应商，关键取决于其面临的需求弹性。此外，整合是由价值链上各个阶段的相对紧缩性以及企业的生产率决定的。
A key decision facing firms is the extent of control to exert over the different stages in their production processes. We develop and test a property rights model of firm boundary choices along the value chain. We construct firm-level measures of the upstreamness of integrated and nonintegrated inputs by combining information on firms' production activities in more than 100 countries with input-output tables. Whether a firm integrates upstream or downstream suppliers depends crucially on the elasticity of demand it faces. Moreover, integration is shaped by the relative contractibility of stages along the value chain, as well as by the firm's productivity.
