The theory of the firm consists of a number of economic theories that explain and predict the nature of the firm, company, or corporation, including its existence, behavior, structure, and relationship to the market.〔 (Description ) & (review. ) • Spulber, Daniel F. (2009). ''The Theory of the Firm'', Cambridge. (Description ), (front matter ), and "Introduction" (excerpt ).〕 ==Overview== In simplified terms, the theory of the firm aims to answer these questions: # Existence. Why do firms emerge? Why are not all transactions in the economy mediated over the market? # Boundaries. Why is the boundary between firms and the market located exactly there with relation to size and output variety? Which transactions are performed internally and which are negotiated on the market? # Organization. Why are firms structured in such a specific way, for example as to hierarchy or decentralization? What is the interplay of formal and informal relationships? # Heterogeneity of firm actions/performances. What drives different actions and performances of firms? # Evidence. What tests are there for respective theories of the firm?〔Thomas N. Hubbard (2008). "firm boundaries (empirical studies)," ''The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics'', 2nd Edition.
