In a Tabular Form Differentiate Between Long Term Contract and Short Term Contract

 

S/NO LONG TERM CONTRACT SHORT TERM CONTRACT
A long-term contract is an agreement when an agency and a client have some serious projects to work on. A short-term contract is one where the parties agree in advance that they will not

be bound by considerations of fairness or good faith if they negotiate a future contract.

A long-term contract allows you to provide your client with more direction and figure out a long-term plan to make sure the project is sustainable. A shorter contract adds pressure as a client will want to see results immediately, and it may be difficult for them to see the bigger picture.
The supplier benefits from a long-term contract because he saves informational rents the supply chain profit increases under short-term contracts, because the renegotiation at the beginning of the second period allows the elimination of the inefficiency generated under the classical menu of contracts
The buyer’s informational rents reduces under long-term contracting The buyer’s informational rents increase under short-term contracting

A long-term contract that mandates trade in both periods is disadvantageous since renegotiation is required if there are no gains from trade in the second period. A short-term contract is disadvantageous since a new contract must be negotiated if gains from trade exist in the second period.
