The International Association for the Economics of Participation (IAFEP) will hold its 2012 conference July 13–15th, in Camden, New Jersey. The conference will be hosted by Rutgers’ School of Management and Labor Relations, in association with the Beyster Fellows Symposium. You can now register.
Submissions for the 2012 conference are invited from all relevant fields of study including comparative economic systems, industrial and labor economics, organisational studies, management studies, institutional economics, evolutionary economics, development economics, sociology, psychology, political science, law, and philosophy.
The IAFEP is dedicated to exploring the economics of democratic and participatory economic organizations, such as labor-managed firms, cooperatives and firms with broad-based employee share-ownership, profit-sharing and worker participation schemes, as well as democratic nonprofit, community and social enterprises. The IAFEP Conferences, which take place every two years, provide an international forum for the presentation and debate of current research and scholarship on the economics of participation. The Association also publishes Economic Analysis: Journal of Enterprise and Participation.
