Materials for PhD Course on the Theory of the Firm

Our PhD course on the Theory of the Firm concluded yesterday with a research workshop on Joe Mahoney’s stakeholder approach. All the course materials, including readings and lecture slides, are now available at the course website. These materials might be useful for someone seeking an overview of the key issues and problems in transaction cost economics, the property-rights approach, and the resource-based and capabilities views, as well as Austrian, evolutionary, and entrepreneurial perspectives on the firm.

The student participants were impressive, and the three instructors made a fabulous team. (To hire us for your upcoming gig, please contact our agent at BR-549.)

    Is there similar syllabi on the theory of a public organization, besides the high-level public choice stuff.

    I don't know of any off-hand, though you might check the online syllabus archives at mises.org, World Lecture Hall, or Syllabus Finder.
