TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the lurking hazards that attend contract implementation in transaction cost economics and propose a solution to deal with these hazards by moving beyond the design of new contractual instruments (such as financial derivatives) to include an examination of their lurking hazards.
Abstract: Transaction cost economics has and continues to be a fruitful area of research. There is still much to be done in the field with past research being used in conjunction with the vast number of contractual phenomena that have yet to be investigated in transaction cost economics terms. New challenges are posed by the need to move beyond the design of new contractual instruments (such as financial derivatives) to include an examination of the lurking hazards that attend contract implementation.
