The Theory of Transaction in Institutional Economics : A History, Paperback / softback Book

The Theory of Transaction in Institutional Economics : A History Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Economics series

Paperback / softback

Description

Despite abundant literature on transaction costs, there is little to no in-depth analysis regarding what the transaction is or how it works.

Drawing on both Old and New Institutional Economics and on a variety of interdisciplinary sources, this monograph traces the history of the meaning of transaction in institutional economics, mapping its topicality and use over time.

This manuscript treats the idea of ‘transaction’ as a construct with legal, competitive and political dimensions, and connects different approaches within institutional economics.

The book covers the contributions of key thinkers from different schools, including (in alphabetical order) Ronald H.

Coase, John R. Commons, Robert Lee Hale, Oliver Hart, Mancur Olson, Thorstein Veblen and Olver E.

Williamson. This book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers of institutional economics, law and economics, and economics, and the history of economic thought.
