内容提要：
Each governance structure (Market, Vertical Integration) is characterized by its unique allocation of limited cognitive units over agents. The probability distribution of the states and the size of the gain and loss of projects determine the efficiency of a governance structure. Market (Vertical Integration) is efficient when the interaction between the upstream and downstream parties is relatively rare (frequent) and the gain due to selecting a good project is relative large (small) as compared to the loss of a bad project.
