In computer science and specifically in type theory, a monad transformer is a type constructor which takes a monad as an argument and returns a monad as a result. The concept is typically treated in the literature on monads in computer science.
Monad transformers generally derive from ordinary monads and allow a modular composition, so that the action on the identity monad of the associated transform of a monad is equivalent to .
This construction is sometimes viewed (see HP07, Eff) as a complication resulting from passing to monads from the setting of Lawvere theories, where any two theories may be naturally combined.
