An exchange relation is the relationship formed between two or more actors when they interdependently interact to exchange resources. Exchange relations may be economic (short‐term, quid pro quo exchange of resources) or social (longer‐term interactions involving mutual trust). Initially limited to the behavior of individual actors' reciprocal interactions with others and the resulting obligations between partners, the construct has been extended to include groups, organizations, and networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
