In short, although, within analyses that are based on the assumptions of transaction cost economics, preferences may change over time, institutions do not fundamentally alter the strategic preferences of actors (Furubotn and Richter, 1998: 3; North, 1990: 17). Therefore, despite the fact that transaction cost economists disagree with neo-classical economists on the role that institutions can play in acting as safeguards for certain kinds of investment (that is, ones that are specific to an asset or relationship and that cannot be used for other purposes), they are in agreement with neo-classical economists that state-supported institutions, such as works councils and codetermination, are inappropriate for workers with general skills.
