transaktiokohtaiset

Transaktiokohtaiset is a Finnish adjective used to describe elements tied to a particular transaction. In economics and business law, transaktiokohtaiset refers to costs, risks, or assets whose value or relevance is realized mainly within the specific exchange, as opposed to factors that apply universally across multiple transactions. The concept is prominent in transaction cost economics, where asset specificity, information costs, and uncertainty create transaction-specific considerations that influence contract design, governance structures, and make-or-buy decisions.

Examples include a supplier producing customized components for a customer, where the investment in dedicated machinery would have little use outside that deal; contract terms tailored to that deal’s delivery and quality requirements; or costs incurred solely because of the unique specifications of a transaction. Transaktiokohtaiset kustannukset are costs that would not occur without the specific transaction, such as adaptation, verification, or negotiation costs tied to that buyer and product. Transaktiokohtaiset riskit refer to risks of hold-up, opportunism, or price renegotiation that are particular to a single exchange.

In Finnish usage, the term often appears in discussions of contracts, procurement, and corporate finance, where distinguishing transaktiokohtaiset components helps analyze efficiency and governance. Related concepts include transaktiokustannusteoria (transaction cost theory) and asset specificity, which together provide a framework for understanding how transaction-specific factors shape economic organization and contract design.
