The article synthesizes information on database analysis of state, municipal, and regulated procurement through which Russian contract institutions and the market model are investigated. The inherent uncertainty of quantity indicators on contracting activities and process is identified and explained. The article provides statistical evidence for heterogeneous market structure in state and municipal procurement, and big player’s dominance. A theoretical model for market behavior, noncooperative competition and collusion is proposed, through which the major trends are explained. The intrinsic flaws and failure of the current contracting model are revealed and described. This ineffectiveness is regarded to be not a limitation, but a challenge to be met. If responded to, drivers for economic growth and market equilibrium will be switched on.

This study uses a sample of IPO firms to investigate the relation between the compensation committee, CEO compensation, and CEO incentives. We investigate two theoretical models: the three-tier optimal contracting model and the managerial power model. We find support for the three-tier agency model. The presence of significant shareholders on the compensation committee (i.e., those with share stakes in excess of 5 percent) is associated with lower CEO pay and higher CEO equity incentives. Firms with higher paid compensation committee members are associated with greater CEO compensation and lower incentives. The managerial power model receives little support. We find no evidence that insiders or CEOs of other firms serving on the compensation committee raise the level of CEO pay or lower CEO incentives.

We consider explicit formulae for equilibrium prices in a continuous-time vertical contracting model. A manufacturer sells goods to a retailer, and the objective of both parties is to maximize expected profits. Demand is an Itô-Lévy process, and to increase realism, information is delayed. We provide complete existence and uniqueness proofs for a series of special cases, including geometric Brownian motion and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, both with time-variable coefficients. Moreover, explicit solution formulae are given, so these results are operational. An interesting finding is that information that is more precise may be a considerable disadvantage for the retailer.

Poor productivity is one of the major challenges facing the oil and gas industry in Australia. This is evidenced by significant cost and schedule overruns on every major LNG development during the recent Australian LNG construction boom. In a world where gas is a global commodity that can be easily exported, the consequences of poor productivity mean that investment dollars are directed overseas to lower risk environments to the detriment of resource development in Australia. This extended abstract explores the causes of poor productivity and it argues that one of the principle reasons is a fragmented contracting strategy, which results in the scope being split among different contractors at various phases of the project lifecycle, requiring complex and often inefficient interface management. This combined with little commercial incentive for contractors to minimise cost for the subsequent phase of the project means the responsibility falls with the operator to optimise costs during the project lifecycle. This extended abstract proposes that BOOM commercial model and contracting strategy is one way to address the productivity challenge. This model incentivises the contractor to engineer to reduce construction cost and to construct to minimise operational and maintenance costs by ensuring the contractor has a significant stake. This better aligns the commercial interests of the contractor and operator. This extended abstract also addresses the types of infrastructure development the model is best suited to and some of the critical success factors required to deliver a successful BOOM outcome.

As a new mode of implementation for the construction project, EPC mode is more and more highly praised by owner and contractor. The owner can reduce the risk through implementing this mode and make the price of project relatively regular at the same time. However, because the owner seldom participates in this mode, in addition, the same contractor charges design and construction of the project, the owner’s controls to the price of project becomes more and more difficult. This paper discusses reasonable determination and effective control method and means to the price of the project under EPC mode according to the characteristic.
