There are numerous costs that result from making a transaction, including search and information costs, bargaining costs and enforcement costs among others. TCE studies these costs and is used today to explain a variety of different factors that affect transactions by analyzing their frequency, specificity, uncertainty, limited rationality along with opportunistic behaviors during transactions.
