Organizations and Markets

| Peter Klein |

Three Brazilian institutions — Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo, IBMEC São Paulo, and the University of São Paulo – are jointly sponsoring a “Research Workshop on Institutions and Organizations” in São Paulo, 2-4 September 2007. Keynote speakers are Jackson Nickerson, Armando Castelar, and me. From the blurb:

Seminar participants will discuss recent developments in the analysis of institutions and organizations through the lenses of Economics, Management, Sociology, Law and other social sciences. Instead of focusing on the contributions of specific disciplines dealing with institutions and organizations, workshop participants will emphasize differences and commonalities among different approaches, leading to potential advances and refinements in the field.

Here is registration information and a preliminary schedule.
