Pliskin Co-edits Economics Volume

Associate Professor of Economics Jeffrey Pliskin has co-edited a volume titled "The Determinants of the Incidence and the Effects of Participatory Organizations – Theory and International Comparisons" (with T. Kato).  This volume is part of a series titled "Advances in the Economic Analysis of Participatory and Labor-Managed Firms" edited by Irma M. and Robert D. Morris Professor of Economics Derek Jones. It consists of 10 original papers. The first five papers address the effects of institutions of governance (at the workplace and corporate levels), including new forms of workplace governance (e.g., self-directed teams), a traditional form (or trade unions) and financial participation schemes. The subsequent three papers turn to the issues of the determinants of the incidence of such institutions, followed by two theoretical contributions.  Additional summary information on this volume may be found at: www.elsevier.nl/inca/publications/store/6/6/7/9/6/1/
