理论通常经历四个阶段，从非正式到准正式，再到半正式和完全正式。本文对20世纪20年代至70年代的交易成本经济学的最早阶段进行了研究。孕育阶段之所以持续了这么长时间，部分原因是交易成本经济学与当时盛行的经济学正统观念背道而驰。此外，与此相关的是，这是一项跨学科的事业。如本文所述，交易成本经济学选择性地将经济学、组织理论和法学结合在一起，是这三个领域一些最优秀人才贡献的产物。
Theories commonly progress through four stages, from informal to pre-formal to semi-formal and fully formal. This paper reports on the earliest stage of transaction cost economics that extended from the 1920s to the 1970s. That the gestation stage lasted so long is partly because transaction cost economics departed significantly from the then-prevailing economic orthodoxy. Also, and related, it is an interdisciplinary undertaking. As reported herein, transaction cost economics selectively combines economics, organisation theory and law and is the product of the contributions of some of the finest minds in those three fields.
