The objective of this research is to examine the literature on national and international public contracts adhering to the Law and Economic theoretical approach. Then, analyze the portion of the literature on public procurement that focuses on mitigating transaction costs and promoting social well-being, converging the concepts of efficiency and justice. That is, it shows the extent to which researchers are concerned with anticipating the effects of changes in bidding legislation to avoid the implementation of ineffective or unfair rules and incentives and reduce the inefficiency and high transaction costs of the public procurement process. The results suggest that a significant part of the literature on public procurement is not based on theory, that is, and is limited to analyzes of an empirical nature. This low percentage of research based on theory is more frequent in national management journals and in focused journals. in public contracts. This finding is a sign that the literature on public procurement may not be mature and that it is open to new theoretical approaches.
