Importance The subject area of our study, the results of which are presented in this article, is the analysis of economic phenomena and processes. Objectives The purpose of the study is to identify differences in the institutional analysis of economic cohesions of the logistics chain of material goods production. To achieve this goal, we had to solve theoretical, methodological and procedural tasks, and the found solutions enabled us to identify the specifics. Methods The methodological basis of the study was the works on economic analysis of classical authors, leading domestic and foreign scientists, representing various economic areas and schools. The study was based on the methods of scientific analysis and synthesis, systems analysis, general systems theory and the theory of decision-making of simulation and economic-mathematical modeling, sociological research, mathematical statistics and expert estimates. Results The adopted methodology of the research, which provides a comprehensive cognitive approach to the study of the analysis of economic cohesions in the logistics chain of material goods production, enabled to reveal a number of specific features. First, we are talking about the comparative analysis of transaction costs of business activity in the process of production of material goods. Secondly, the institutional analysis bases on the balance sheet of an economic entity as a source of information about the structure of economic cohesions of the logistics chain of material goods production. Thirdly, the institutional analysis is directly relevant to the study of intra-organizational conflicts and substantiation of basic provisions of the theory of economic cohesions of the logistics chain of production of goods. Fourthly, a special role belongs to the institutional analysis of legal and organizational forms of arising cohesions in the logistics chain of material goods production. Conclusions and Relevance From the positions of these specific features we investigated the economic cohesion in the logistics chain of material goods production. We paid special attention to the assessment of optimality of various configurations of cohesion, taking into consideration the specifics of the national economy and the economy of those countries, which are likely to be involved in the formation of logistics chains of material goods production.
