Is the rule of law friendly with exchange activities? In this research, attention is laid on the imperfectness of institutions. Relation exchanges, which arise from imperfectness of institutions, enable the economic analysis to stretch out from value exchanges in the market to the territory of relation exchanges. By recognizing value exchanges in the market as special cases of relation exchange where property rights are perfectly secured, all daily activities of individuals become part of relation exchanges and become objects of economic analysis. Hence, institutional dimension become put in place as independent axis of economic analysis. Now, it becomes possible to identify the order of relation exchange as social order. For instance, it becomes possible to analytically draw out the role of third party, e.g. government, from Hobbesian social contracts, which performs to secure the stability of social order. The building of theoretical groundwork as such renders it possible to recognize institutional phenomena like morality codes, law, public administration, and other social norms, which uphold stable operation of social order, in the analytical structure of relation exchanges. Analytical foundation has been built to determine if such legal institutions are performing friendly with exchange activities. Introduction of two dimensional concepts, i.e. existential modules and operational modules of legal institutions, and through their intercross, rendered it possible to construct conceptual categories for legal-institutional modules of relation exchange order. Each decision of the CCK(1988-2003) was assigned to one of 45 conceptual categories and pigeonholed as such. Proactivity or retroactivity of each decision was determined according to conceptual categories of the cell in the module matrix. The outcome of research seems to establish the proposition ‘the rule of law cannot but be friendly with exchange activities.’

제도는 원초적으로 불완전하다. 이것은 인간인지능력의 한계와 결합하여 인 간생활에서 극복할 수 없는 제약조건이다. 사람들은 이 상황을 관계교환으로 맞서왔다. 시장의 가치교환은 관계교환의 특수한 상황(부분집합)이다. 즉 사람 들은 관계교환질서 속에서 살고 있다. 이것은 도덕 및 법규범으로 이 관계교환 질서를 잘 관리하면 교환활동을 왕성하게 하는 관계교환질서를 만들어낼 수 있 다는 것을 의미한다. 이 현상을 확인하기 위해서 한국의 헌법재판소 경제관련 판례 29건을 조사하였다. 2개의 법 작용양식(존재양식 existential modules, 작동양식 operational modules)을 구분하여 45개의 교차적 법 운용양식 개념 을 분류하였다. 각 판례가 45개 각 개념에 속하는 분류에 귀속시켜서 교환활동 에 긍정적이었는지 부정적이었는지를 평가하였다. 3건의 부정적 경우를 제외하 고 나머지 모두 교환활동에 긍정적 내용의 판례였다는 결과를 얻었다. 이것은 법치 그 자체가 교환활동에 친화적이라는 것을 말한다. 즉 관계교환질서가 법 치에 의해서 교환활동에 친화적으로 운용되고 있음을 확인한다.
