Abstract

Objetivou-se, no presente artigo discutir uma proposta metodológica aplicável aos estudos sobre os Custos de Transação. Além da apresentação do aporte teórico e das ferramentas metodológicas, apresentamos um estudo de caso em que tal proposta é utilizada. O universo empírico do estudo é o Oeste de Santa Catarina, com foco nas cooperativas de produção de leite. Apresentamos a discussão sobre os Custos de Transação sob as três dimensões: frequência, especificidades dos ativos e incertezas, sendo que, além dessas, inserimos a variável confiança como relevante ao estudo. Com relação aos pressupostos, os utilizamos também como variáveis. Apresentamos uma escala de diferencial semântico, a qual nos permitiu construir índices capazes de evidenciar importantes resultados comparativos. Observamos que as especificidades dos ativos tiveram um peso importante no aumento dos Custos de Transação. Por outro lado, a confiança e a frequência contribuíram no sentido de diminuírem os Custos de Transação. Os preços pagos no ano de 2010 foram menores nas cooperativas que apresentaram maiores Custos de Transação, demonstrando forte correlação. A concorrência contribui com o aumento dos Custos de Transação, o que veio a prejudicar a competitividade das cooperativas. Por fim, concluímos que tal proposta metodológica e teórica pode ser aplicada em outros estudos de caso. ----- In the present study, we sought to discuss a methodological proposal suitable to studies about transaction costs. Besides the theoretical framework and methodological tools, we describe here the case study, on which the proposal is used. The empirical universe of study was the Western Santa Catarina, focused on the cooperatives of milk production chain. We discussed about transaction costs in three perspectives, namely, frequency, assets specificity and uncertainties, in which we included the confidence as a relevant variable for the study. We also used the assumptions as variables, and we showed a scale of semantic differential, which allowed us determining indices able to highlight important comparative results. We found that assets specificity showed a significant effect in the transaction costs increase. In addition, the confidence and frequency caused reduction of transaction costs. The prices paid in the year of 2010 were lesser on the cooperatives that showed greater transaction costs, showing strong correlation. However, the competition resulted in increase of transaction costs, which prejudiced the cooperatives competitiveness. Therefore, the methodological and theoretical proposals can be used in another case studies.
