A comparison and critical assessment of Porat and Rubin's information economy and Wallis and North's transaction sector
Article Abstract:
Porat and Rubin's information economy approach shows similarity with Wallis and North's transaction sector approach. The two approaches contain similar in-house components that are used in the measurement of resources being utilized in the economic organizational task. The information economy approach, however, proves to be deficient when it comes to explanation of economic theory when compared to transaction sector approach, which is based on a popular theory called transaction cost economics.
