The organization of the food industry is changing rapidly in these years. Production based on contracts is becoming more widespread and agricultural cooperatives adjust their organization to match new market demands. To analyze the organizational forms within the agro-food complex, one needs a good understanding of the economics of contracts.The course will be based on an interaction between contract theory and the practice of contracting.
