Abstract: Abstract To study policy coordination by application of Transaction Cost Approach on food safety monitoring programmes. Four types of transaction costs were identified, namely: legislation refinement and private participation cost, commitment cost, agency cost and uncertainty cost. Two food safety monitoring programmes (importation of live freshwater fish and local production of fresh pork) were chosen to outline the difference concerning policy coordination in bureau-bureau linkage and bureau-enterprise relationship. A total of 16 interviews were conducted to obtain the opinions from bureaucrats and enterprise staffs. Monitoring programme on imported live freshwater fish coordinated mainly by network form with mainland and hierarchy approach locally. Coordination problems were characterized by information asymmetry which contributed to high legislation refinement and private participation cost. Scare information amplified the cost for politicians to support food policy and the difficulty to scrutinize government work. Regulatory discretions were entrusted on administrators but formless laws and blame culture within CFS sacrificed implementer's performance incentives so as to secure their tenures and promotion chance, resulting in pro-status-quo, shrinking and negligence. Political environment and vconstituencies' interest appended uncertainty costs and hindered effective policy coordination. Monitoring programme on local fresh pork revealed the contractual connection between government and monopolistic SOE. Government control was performed by means of laws, requirements and conditions whereas contract terms provided compliance and sanction circumstances for the business to consider their trade-offs. Coordination problems are characterized by conflicting objectives from the administration and the enterprise. Heterogeneous interests represented by government and the combination of commercial and noncommercial values for enterprise came up with incoherent grounds for legislative control. Government could hold the regulatory autonomy and decide the time and extent to intervene, lowering the commitment costs. Noncommercial objective of SOE opened the window for politicians to interfere, hence reducing the agency cost but their watchdog ability was hampered by the special privilege enjoyed by the SOE. Recommendations were made on importance of information, power, issue of trust, incentives on policy coordination aspects. Suggestions were also given for area of future research. vi DOI: 10.5353/th_b3870175 Subjects: Food - Safety measures - Government policy - China - Hong Kong
