Transaction Cost: Mastering Transaction Cost Economics, Navigating Markets, Decisions, and Success

When it comes to economics and other related fields, a transaction cost is a cost that is incurred when engaging in any kind of economic trade involving participation in a market. Oliver E. Williamson's article titled "Transaction Cost Economics," which was released in 2008, is credited with popularizing the concept of transaction costs. In 1931, the institutional economist John R. Commons presented the idea that transactions serve as the foundation for economic thinking. Douglass C. North contends that the establishment of institutions, which can be seen as the laws that govern a society, is an essential component in the process of determining transaction costs. When seen in this light, institutions that permit minimal transaction costs contribute to the expansion of the economy.
