The proposed model also controls for known determinants of integration, such as transaction costs and firm-level capabilities. By identifying transaction-, firm- and strategy-level determinants, we derive testable predictions about the vertical integration decision. To test these predictions we analyze the Rioja wine industry, using a representative sample of 187 firms. Our paper concludes that reaching judicious vertical integration decisions requires a thorough analysis of some very diverse aspects, especially those related to mitigating opportunism, dealing with unforeseen contingencies and product differentiation. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2009-09623 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.968 2016 ECONOMICS 165 / 347 = 0.476 2016 Q2 T2 BUSINESS 100 / 121 = 0.826 2016 Q4 T3 0.283 2016 Business, Management and Accounting (miscellaneous) 2016 Q2 Economics and Econometrics 2016 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Dejo-Oricain, Natalia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7424-6252 Rosell-Martínez, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7133-4425 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
