Question

Can we estimate/ quantify the size of transaction costs in the USA?

Also, consider firms from a Neo-Classical and a New Institutional Economic perspective with the exception of the Transaction Costs theory, explain the respective findings.

Answer 1

Transaction costs are defined as an estimation of the market efficiency that makes it as available in some place or source and as per the availability to use, can be described as an expensive purchase. To quantify USA transaction costs and size, it would be presented as a transaction model that could consequently be creating a time series of daily security returns and consider an advantageous endogenously. It also describes as an effective transaction costs that focus on any firm, exchange, or period. The transaction costs, is described as an estimation of costs focusing on the incidence of zero returns. To quantify size, it incorporates a zero returns that would focus on the return-generating process, and accounts into a continuum of the round trip transaction costs such as during the period of 1963 to 1990 it is estimated as a 1.2% and 10.3% for large and small firms and estimating transaction cost estimators.

New institutional economics theory is focused on the rules and norms along with the applicability of diversity in disciplines and given methodologies. New institutional economics theory is described as a neoclassical paradigm that considers the exceptions that could create a revolutionary character. The new institutional economics theory is described as a decision to make, to buy along with the alternative organizational that could focus on the arrangements and would be having some countries are rich along with some countries are poor.

The standard neoclassical paradigm that would be focused on the economic system that would be concretely be focused on the supply to demand and production that can denote how there would be an edge to the consumption automatically, and depends on the price mechanism. Neoclassical economists have also created as an edge towards the production function that would be inputted into outputs, that can be focused on changes that would be to relative prices and available resources that can make it maximize profits. New institutional economics that would focus on an information that would be perfect for the individuals along with creating a rational wealth-maximizers and focused on stable preferences includes an exchange costless. New institutionalists focus on the different rates of development that can be an edge to the different endowments of resources along with creating a human capital or of different rates of investment along with holding an adoption of new technologies.
