Keywords:

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 mainstream and heterodox literature and a variety of interdisciplinary sources, this monograph traces the history of transaction costs in institutional economics, mapping the topicality and use of the idea of transaction in institutional economics literature over time, explicating how historical context affects this idea.


Vatiero 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 Veblen, Coase, North, Williamson, Dixit.


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

Recenzijas

"Vatieros liberal combination of insights from the old and new institutionalisms is characteristic of what could be called the Siena approach to institutional economics." - David Gindis, University of Hertfordshire, HOPE reviews

"The book and the research direction advanced by the author is in many respects more ambitious and consequential than one is led to believe from the title of the volume, it is not merely history but possibly also the future of the theory of transactions." - Paul Dragos Aligica, Oeconomia
