Some Aspects of Measuring Transaction Costs in the BCR-GroupAbstract:In the new institutional economy, the concept of transaction costs takes a pivotal seat in the institutions’ economic analysis. We shall begin the analysis of transaction cost by presenting this concept and some attempts at quantification. This paper takes a micro-economical viewpoint and we treat the majority of expenses, in the accounting of loan institutions, as transaction costs. In the case study performed on the BCR-Group we make use the consolidated financial statements of the BCR Group for the period 2000-2012. A preliminary analysis suggests that transaction costs can be measured over time in this bank but not perfectly. Banking has two types of transaction costs, which move in inverse relationship.Both types of transaction costs are (almost) always changing even as they appear to be converging to equilibrium
