Abstract

 

 The purpose of this article is to analyze the structures of broiler production contracts between the companies and the integrated farmers from the perspective New Institutional Economics and the Transaction Cost Economics. We seek to understand the way the analytical categories of behavioral assumptions of this theory and how the characteristics of the transactions appear in these contracts. The research data collection procedure was based on eight original integration contracts between farmers and processing agribusiness of eight Brazilian companies. Each contract was held based on the theoretical framework discussed. Up and set standards regarding similarities and thus classified clauses included in the theoretical model. The clauses of contracts allow the identification of elements belonging to the behavioral assumptions and dimensions of the transactions: bounded rationality and opportunism; assets specificities; and frequency and uncertainty.
