Abstract
In "Markets and Hierarchies" (1975) Oliver Williamson has developed
a heuristic framework (Organization Failures Framework = OFF) to attack the
issue of institutional borderlines between markets and firms. Below we
discuss this concept and apply it to local coal markets. Differences in
larger domestic and international coal markets then cast some doubts on
the practical usefulness of the approach.
