“…Although the terms and conditions of a joint venture may vary, it is generally a conditional agreement in the sense that an action of one party depends on what the other parties do. Thus a joint venture can be a relational contract if it contains adaptive features that allow the parties to adjust the cooperative effort to manage changes in the environment and context (Andrew 2010).…”

A joint venture agreement is one type of governance mechanism that can be adopted by local governments to address collective action problems. While much of the current research discusses the importance of regional cooperation, few studies explore the type of relations formed with institutional actors in the context of interjurisdictional agreements. The authors address this gap in the literature by investigating the association among the transaction costs of forming an economic development joint venture agreement and two types of relations formed by local governments: horizontal and vertical. The results of a survey of local officials in 12 large metropolitan areas indicate that, depending upon the extent to which coordination, division, or defection problems are perceived to make joint venture agreements difficult to establish, local governments have horizontal and vertical relations. The findings highlight challenges and opportunities for addressing collective action problems and facilitating regional cooperation for economic development.

“…In a study of public safety services for example Andrew (2010) found that high median household incomes are linked to less reliance on interlocal collaboration. Other studies by Morgan and Hirlinger (1991), LeRoux and Carr (2007) and Leroux (2006) have shown that the relationship between per capita income and interlocal collaboration is nonlinear.…”

iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I first of all want to thank the almighty God for giving me the wisdom and inner strength to carry out this study from inception to completion. My sincerest gratitude also goes to my dissertation chair, Dr. Janet M. Kelly, whose mentorship, guidance and unflinching support throughout the stages of this research have contributed to this meaningful and scientifically substantiated paper. The findings of the study showed that compared to other public services, economic development services have a greater association with vertical collaboration whilst public safety services have a greater association with horizontal collaboration.Similarly, infrastructure services have a greater association with bilateral collaboration whilst public safety services have a greater association with multilateral collaboration.The study also corroborated previous findings that asset specificity and service measurability have strong influence on the likelihood of collaboration. With respect to the pattern of collaboration, the study indicated that compared to other transaction characteristics, services that have high levels of asset specificity but easily measurable have greater associations with vertical and bilateral collaborations. Similarly, services that have high levels of asset specificity and measurement difficulty have greater associations with horizontal and multilateral collaborations. With respect to network embededdness, the study established that repeated interaction in the past has the most significant influence on decisions to collaborate.vii
