TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze cross-border small-scale trading from the perspective of New Institutional Economics and propose an alternative analytical starting point to this topic, which is mainly tackled by sociologists and anthropologists.
Abstract: The article analyses cross-border small-scale trading (CBST) from the perspective of New Institutional Economics. It offers an alternative analytical starting point to this topic, which is mainly tackled by sociologists and anthropologists. It is argued that concepts like social capital or social embeddedness can be of certain analytical use but that they hardly suffice to explain human behaviour in a detailed manner. The case of reference is the institution of bribery as it evolved in the first half of the 1990s at the Bulgarian-Turkish border.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the hypothesis that organic farming provides an additional benefit to the rural economy over and above that of conventional agriculture, defined for the purposes of this project as "non-organic".
Abstract: The research reported here has sought to explore the hypothesis set out in the original research brief that organic farming provides an additional benefit to the rural economy over and above that of conventional agriculture, defined for the purposes of this project as 'non-organic'. The approach adopted involved tracing the socio-economic footprint of a range of farm business types. The concept of the socio-economic footprint represents a development of earlier research (Errington and Courtney 2000) tracing the economic footprints of small towns. In contrast to conventional economic analysis, the research focused on examining the socio-economic linkages associated with different types of farming such as sales and purchasing patterns but also evidence of social connectivity and embeddedness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the entrepreneurial capabilities of MNE units at intermediate geographical levels, between the local subsidiary level and global corporate headquarters, and find that RHQs' entrepreneurial capabilities depend on their external embeddedness and on the heterogeneous information that is generated through dissimilar markets within the region.
