His original theoretical basis was transaction cost economics (which permeated my PhD thesis), but has since then spread to contractual economics in general (in addition to TCE, agency theory, and property right theory) with side jumps into the resource-dependence theory, resource-based perspective, real option theory, and value creation logics.
