Abstract

In the context of the development of the digital economy, this paper introduces the factor of gig economy, tests a series of new firm structures, and uses inframarginal analysis to systematically explain how to transition from autarky and non-firm structure to firm structure. We focus on discussing the conditions for the emergence of firm structure, the expansion and contraction of firms, and the issue of the ownership. We shows the important role that transaction efficiency plays in the change of firm structure. The markets for different types of labor are introduced and therefore the size of the firm is endogenously determined. decisions.
