“…Concerning contractual networks, some attention has been devoted to studying the effects of trading relationship such as outsourcing-10 Similar results are found by Scharfstein (1998) in a sample of 165 diversified US conglomerates, Mullainathan and Scharfstein (2001) with reference to the US chemical industry, Natividad (2009) for the US motion picture industry and Gautier and Hamadi (2005) who consider Belgian holding companies.
