==Abstract==
This article tests a transactions cost theory of vertical integration with data from the U S. automobile industry. Existing theory is first refined to take into account industrial know-how and the cost of transferring such know-how. A testable model is then de- veloped, which is estimated by using probit techniques. The results support the view that transactions cost considerations surrounding the development and deepening of human skills have important ramifications ]br delineating efficient organizational boundaries.
