Networks, Institutions, and Uncertainty
We analyze patterns of informal information exchange by the English East India Company's captains to assess the role of relational and institutional governance systems and uncertainty in encouraging information exchange.

Relational-based contract enforcement mechanisms such as small group exchange were largely absent, and …
