The authors calcu-lated the 3 modes of supply by using a transaction cost theory in institutional economics, and pointed out the fol-lowings: the marginal transaction cost produced by the current supply of sports for handicapped people solely by the government is much higher than the transaction cost produced by non government supply; under certain conditions, the handing over of supply of sports for handicapped people by a government department to a non government de-partment can save transaction cost to a certain extent, thus enhance supply efficiency.
