Paul L. Joskow(1998)”Contract Duration and Relationship-Specific Investments: Empirical Evidence from Coal Markets”

This paper examines the importance of long term contract when relation-specific investment is needed. In this research, 277 contracts are used to inspect the hypothesis that relation-specific investment leads durable contract, and the hypothesis strongly supported.

Questions:
What is simple model for this situation?
What is general implication for this?
Is econometrics interesting subject for me?
