Abstract

Az intézményi közgazdaságtan művelői és a tranzakciós költségek tanára építő mikroökonómiai megközelítés jegyében megalkotott elméleti modellek jelentős mértékben járultak hozzá a cégekkel kapcsolatos ismereteink bővítéséhez. Számos elemzés tárgyalta a cégek keretében folyó gazdasági tevékenység ökonómiai racionalitását a piacgazdaság keretei között. A cégek piaci viszonyok közötti működésének vizsgálata mint létező folyamatok tudományos eszközökkel való leírása, valamint a cégek születéséhez vezető folyamatok elemzése két külön téma. A cégek egyszerre gazdasági, jogi és történelmi képződmények, meghatározottságuk csak ebben a hármas kontextusban vizsgálható. Nem kaptunk még választ arra a kérdésre, milyen általános történelmi és speciális gazdasági körülmények vezettek ahhoz, hogy a cégek egyáltalán megjelentek az emberi tevékenység színpadán. Jelen munkában erre a kérdésre keressük a választ. Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: K2, N00, O120, Z1.
