Also, this dissertation, taking the operating transaction costs and the contractual-choice behavior by economic entities of Chinese oilseed rape industrial organization as the analysis beginning, through the analysis model of Structure-Conduct-Performance and the categories such as transaction costs, special-purpose property, uncertainty of transaction, incompleteness of information and contract, transaction frequency and so on, in view of the problems and characteristics of Chinese oilseed rape industrial production, processing, circulation, consumption and so on, has studied the issues of the behavior characteristics by economic entities, the causes and effects of institutional vicissitude, the evolution of organizational structure and the promotion of economic performances in industry, analyzed rules of developing and the tendency characteristics of the industry, and explored the operating mechanism and the realizing ways of the industrial organizational forms, the resources disposition efficiency, the economic performances and the welfare utility, which base on the new institutional economic variables and affect the industry. Furthermore, in order to develop the industry, this dissertation has designed the related countermeasures or measures, and provided some scientific theoretical instructions and practical reference for policy and decision-making.This dissertation mainly answered some questions below: Firstly, it made the explanation about the current Chinese oilseed rape industrial organization structure and its origin form the institutional perspective. Secondly, via carrying on the comprehensive empirical analysis of the Chinese oilseed rape industrial organization's operating performances, and analyzing the reasons from the view of the industrial organizational institutional arrangement and the industrial entities behavior choice, it proposed some general conclusions about the oilseed rape industrial organizational structure and the industrial operating performances. Thirdly, based on the empirical research foundation, by applying the policy performances appraisal correlated to the industry of the government, this dissertation put forward correlated policy reference. Fourthly, on the basis of the theatrical and experiential empirical research of the industry, taking optimizing the industrial resources disposition and promoting performances of entities as the aim, this dissertation proposed the institutional innovation way of industrial organization, constructed the market operating organizational pattern of high performances, also guided and advanced industrial organizational innovation and the industrial technology promotion of the industry.This dissertation altogether divides into seven chapters.Chapter 1 is the introduction, on clarifying the goal and significance of this research, it proposed the research content, the main questions to be replied, the overall analysis frame and the research technique, and introduced main innovations and further issues to be studied.Chapter 2 is the literature summary, it clarified some main concepts of this dissertation, and summarized the literature of researching progress in respect of the transacting economics and the contractual choice theory, the industrial organization theory and the agricultural industrialization, which was laid as rationale for this research.Chapter 3 divided the yielding into four different developing phases after 1949, commented developing characteristics and the reason of these phases, and explained the technology advancement characteristics and the regional distribution. Then, taking the Tran-logarithm stochastic frontier production function, the Cobb-Douglas production function and the gray connection theoretical model as the analysis methods, it applied thorough input-output analysis to the Chinese oilseed rape's yield, and surveyed the technical efficiency, the contribution ratio of scientific-technical advancement, the output characteristic of each input factor, the scale benefit, the input factor connective degree and their arrangement, etc., and compared three results. Finally, according to the conclusion of CD production function, it forecasted the domestic output of 30 years in the future.Chapter 4, taking the contractual patterns in producing organizational operation of the industry as the research object, and following the line of performances which are brought by the different forms of industrial organizational contractual choice, taking the oilseed rape industrial organizations in Hubei Province as examples, studied the oilseed rape industrial organizations with the types of "company-(base)-peasant household", "Special Cooperation Association-Enterprise-peasant household" and "Vertical integration" emphatically, and compared different industrial organizations in respect of basis of existence, organizational structure, benefit joint pattern, operating way, operating performances, so as to provide some reference for the further development of oilseed rape industrial organizations.Chapter 5, beginning with the history, present status and characteristics of vegetable oil processing profession, analyzed the organizational structure of oilseed rape processing profession in respect of organizational characteristic, competition structure, market structure, profession barrier and so on. Then, on researching the enterprise behavior of the profession, it thoroughly studied transacting behavior and the contractual choice of Chinese oilseed rape processing profession from the view of profession management performances and the profession economies of scale emphatically. The profession management performances were launched on management achievement and capital operating performances of the entire profession and the different property rights, and the economies of scale were carried out according to the statistics and analysis of main economic efficiency targets of the entire profession and the different property rights with different scales, so as to provide the mentalities for the policy improvement.Chapter 6 firstly surveyed the edible vegetable oil and the rapeseed oil consumption status and characteristics from the supply-demand angle. Secondly, it studied the inhabitant edible oil purchasing behavior characteristics from many angles. Thirdly, via solving edible oil demand elasticity of each kind by Chinese urban and rural inhabitants with extended linear expenditure system, it exposed the relationship between the edible oil consuming behavior of urban and rural inhabitants and the restricting factors. Fourthly, though utilizing income and the consuming data of 1998-2004, it carried out empirical analysis and comparing studies on the behavior, structure and the tendency of urban and rural inhabitants' consumption. Finally, to satisfy inhabitants' increasingly enhancing material life demand day by day, it discussed the direction to go of Chinese edible oil industry, and provide some references for the prompt adjustment of producing, processing, circulation and the foreign trade structure of edible oil.Chapter 7 includes research conclusions and policy discussions, and it summarized conclusions in following aspects: resources disposition efficiency, technical efficiency, contributive ratio of scientific-technical advancement, performances comparison anomy main industrial organization forms and so on in yielding; industry concentration, brand market proportion, profession barrier, management performances, capital operating and economies of scale of different property rights in processing; involving extent of purchasing behavior, brand consciousness and partiality, demand elasticity, changing tendency in consuming, and so on. To sum up, it put forward the policy proposals from four aspects, that include the policy suggestions to enhance the resource disposition efficiency in view of the yielding efficiency characteristic, the ones to carry out agricultural industrialization in view of the industrial organizational behavior and the performances characteristic, the ones to enhance the processing profession performances in view of the profession structure and behavior characteristic, and the ones to enhance the social surplus in view of the inhabitant edible oil expense behavior characteristic.The possible innovation of this dissertation mainly includes several aspects as follows:Firstly, from the view of new intuitional economy, taking the transacting behavior and contract choice of transacting entities as core, this dissertation has carried on the systematic economic analysis and the development countermeasure research to the Chinese oilseed rape industry. The topic choice shows discipline front and groundbreaking. Secondly, taking the transacting costs and the contract choice of Chinese oilseed rape industry as a breakthrough point, and dividing the industry into yielding, processing and consuming, this dissertation has studied the issues of industrial organizational structure and economic performance respectively of Chinese oilseed rape industry. The researching categories are different from those of the former literature.Thirdly, this dissertation has structured the researching model of agricultural industrial organizational performance, which is based on the combination of Structure-Conduct-Performance analysis and new institutional analysis. The model puts emphasis on the analysis industrial structure and entities behavior inducing performance, focuses on the institutional variables that influent agricultural economic operation performance, which not only make institutional variables result from economic operating analysis inherently, but also realize the fusion of neoclassic research model and new institutional method in respect of agricultural industrial organizational performance.Finally, this dissertation, by applying various researching methods, such as method of combining dynamic analysis with static analysis, qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis, macroscopic analysis with microscopic analysis, and so on, has put emphasis on the empirical and quantitative analysis, and built up database to carry out hypothesis and calculation of models, so as to conduct the comprehensive studies to the Chinese oilseed rape industry, and designs the correlated countermeasure and the measure.
