More than just loyalty? Understanding members’ investment in their cooperatives’ tradable preferred shares
Guided by behavioural economics, this paper examines the factors shaping members’ investments in tradable and appreciable preferred shares issued by their cooperatives. These shares possess characteristics of both bonds and long‐term equity, and when tradable, they acquire a market value that helps mitigate issues related to the vaguely defined property rights of cooperatives. Using survey data from 1124 members of Sweden's two largest agricultur…
The commitment of farmers to traditional and hybrid cooperatives
This study investigates the commitment of farmer members to traditional and hybrid cooperatives, and examines how and why their commitment has changed over time. The empirical basis consists of three surveys of representative samples of Finnish farmers conducted in 2010, 2013 and 2016. Dairy cooperatives in Finland have a traditional organizational form. Animal breeders deliver to hybrid cooperatives that have some external investors, but farmers…

Why Farmers Involve Themselves in Co‐operative District Councils
This study finds that selective incentives induce district council members and chairpersons to work for the collective best of a co‐operative membership. Being the lowest echelon of a co‐operative's internal governance hierarchy, district councils constitute a link between the membership and the board of directors. Previous research indicates that district council members are often driven by a co‐operative conviction and social concerns. The pres…
Governance of Production Co‐operatives in Russian Agriculture
Many Soviet kolkhozy and sovkhozy were transformed into agricultural production co‐operatives, because the farm workers would have had large transaction costs in any other type of organization. These co‐operatives still hold a strong market position. This study explores the hypothesis that this market strength could be due to low governance costs, obtained through strong manager power. As managers want the co‐operative to survive, they make limit…
The Nature of Cooperative Values and Principles
Members' transaction costs decrease as a consequence of cooperative principles and cooperative values. The members' cooperative values reduce their uncertainty in relation to each other and in their relationship to the business environment. Thus, there are two categories of values: social values and sovereignty values. The cooperative principles are characteristics of the cooperative organization that aim to reduce transaction costs in the member…
