I'd like to ask from my colleagues- the distinguished social science's researchers who are focused on studying the development of (formal & informal) institutions in terms of the geographical visualization of economic development. My aim of the 20-year scientific observations is to carry out the parallels between the sectoral economic development in any point of the globe and the development of institutional relations (both formal & informal). As a general rule, most highly developed human organizations (formal institutions) on the basis of advanced rules of game are located in developed countries and due diminishing transaction costs, those institutes attracted the most talented individuals. Based on opportunistic behavior of individuals given perfection and quite acceptable rules of the game, it could be possible to argue about globalization, which contributes to rather fusion/ merge, than "clash of civilizations" (termin of Prof. Samuel Huntington).
Therefore, I am looking for opportunities to read about the newly developed area of social sciences, an an intersection of :
1) economic sociology,
2) neo institutional economics,
3) economic geography,
4) international economic development,
5) political sciences & international relations and many other fields.
I will highly appreciate your replies.
With the best regards,

hi,
maybe ... http://w3.ufsm.br/ppgexr/images/Tese_Mauro_Barcellos_Sope%C3%B1a.pdf
Thank you Mauro, I've found the Eng. Abstract on page 13 for your PhD Thesis "OPPORTUNITY BEHAVIOR IN AGRIBUSINESS CONTRACTS: A MULTIPLE-FUZZY EXAMINATION FOR THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL". I am looking rather the mega-economics analysis of Globalization, rather than sectoral analysis of development in certain region. Nevertheless, I appreciate your reply, With the best regards,
Hi Mauro,
it requires to create the methods to identify and measure transaction costs on the sector level. I think it is not possible without the measuring the costs on the micro level between entities and further aggregation to mezzo level. It should have been used the same research basis I think about such project for many years.
I do not know if I understood your question well ... but I think that transaction costs are best measured at the micro level, that is, at the firm level. at the middle level, it may be important to approach institutions (more generally) to obtain more satisfactory results.
yes of course but inefficiency occurs on the enterprise level (internal transaction costs) and in the relations between enterprise and other entities like consumers
Do you intend to measure transaction costs at the sectoral (aggregate) level? Including other firms and consumers? I think it is possible to address this question, but I do not know if there is any way to aggregate the analysis because each one has a different TC (depending on rationality, opportunism, asymmetric information ...). In 2015 I got help from Oliver Williamson in some chat via email ([email protected]), I think you could try it too.
