Using the new framework, this dissertation not only gives a theoretical interpretation to the market itself, but also derives a two stage expansion of the nature of the market. The first stage expansion is that the market is a complex adaptive system in the macro level, it is open, dynamic and self-organizing.

Then it makes analysis from the whole and individual levels on the nature and change of the vegetable wholesale market of agricultural products, at last, it selects typical cases for the theory test. By analyzing the nature, the article uncovers deep-seated reasons of the phenomenon, and gives the policy implication in theory.This dissertation focus on "agricultural products wholesale vegetable market"; based on the main clue of the framework formed by CAS and the subjective game; in the sense methodology, following the philosophy of dialectical materialism and systems based methodology.This dissertation is divided into six chapters.Chapter one is the introduction, which explains the background of this dissertation and the theoretical and realistic value of this research, then confirms research focus and methods, putting forward basic framework, also introduces the content and logic structures of this paper, introduces the author's approach towards the problems, and points out the innovation and deficiency of this dissertation as well.Chapter two, summarizes theoretical and empirical resumes from two aspects. First of all, summarizes the market theory from four dimensions:the division of labor, theory of property rights theory, system theory and the theory of the firm changes.

Using the new framework, this paper not only gives a theoretical interpretation to the market itself, but also derives a two stage expansion of the nature of the market.Chapter four, put the new framework which designed in Chapter3 into practice,, this chapter first analyzed the concept and the structure of the agricultural product wholesale market, thus summarized the change of the distribution system of agricultural products, finally,under the framework, this article gives its interpretation of institutional change from the different view such as the external environmental impact, institutional complementarities, institutional durability, and path dependence.Chapter five is the case of comparative institutional analysis, is further evidence the theory and application. This chapter selects two vegetable wholesale markets of agricultural products:Shandong Shouguang Vegetable Wholesale Market and Pengzhou vegetable wholesale market, compared them in terms of institutional analysis from the external constraints and endogenous factors, and gave a theoretical analysis using the framework formed by CAS and the subjective game theory on China wholesale vegetable market.Chapter 6 is the conclusion and policy implications, this chapter firstly summarizes refined conclusion of this article and proposes the policy suggestions.The innovation of this paper may include the following four aspects:1, innovation in Methodology. This dissertation puts forward a new theoretical framework formed by complex adaptive system (CAS) and subjective game theory for the first time.2, Using the new framework, this paper not only gives a theoretical interpretation to the market itself, but also derives a two stage expansion of the nature of the market.3, under the new framework, this article gives its interpretation of institutional change from the different view such as the external environmental impact, institutional complementarities, institutional durability, and path dependence.4, our vegetable distribution system is divided into 5 stages.1978-1983, vegetable production and marketing, breaking the initial stage; 1984-1991, a planned commodity economy stage; 1992-2001, vegetables achieve a free market flow of goods and comprehensively promoting stage; 2002, has continued to deepen and perfect stage.
