许多城市正在采取有意义的行动，以追求气候，环境和能源目标。这些问题是复杂的和跨国界的，因此为合作提供了肥沃的土壤，特别是在大都市地区。然而，尽管合作可以带来许多好处，但它也带来了交易风险。因此，城市有动力选择与谁合作。在某些情况下，城市，特别是那些拥有大量内部资源和能力的城市，可能更容易“单干”。我们拉从文献上的协作风险，交易成本经济学，组织能力发展的假设能力和协作之间的关系，在城市可持续发展倡议。我们的分析发现，城市在气候和能源问题上与外部组织合作的程度取决于地方行政能力;然而，这种关系是非线性的。
Many municipalities are taking meaningful action in pursuit of climate, environmental, and energy objectives. These issues are complex and transboundary and thus provide fertile ground for collaboration, particularly in metropolitan regions. However, despite the many benefits that can result from collaboration, it also entails transaction risk. As a result, cities have incentive to be selective about who they collaborate with. In some cases, cities, particularly those with considerable internal resources and capacities, might find it easier to “go it alone.” We pull from the literature on collaboration risk, transaction cost economics, and organizational capacity to develop hypotheses about the relationship between capacity and collaboration in urban sustainability initiatives. Our analysis finds that the extent to which cities collaborate with external organizations on climate and energy issues is shaped by local administrative capacity; however, the relationship is nonlinear.
