Upcoming Conferences
The Tilburg Law and Economics Center (TILEC) is hosting a workshop on "Economic Governance and Competition: The Pros and Cons of Private Ordering in the Shadow of the Law" at Tilburg University, The Netherlands, on September 30 and October 1, 2010. This workshop aims to bring scholars together who have studied organizations and institutions that support economic activities if using the courts is not an option. The workshop will also provide a competition policy perspective that critically weighs the pros and cons of self-governance institutions against each other.
The Center for New Institutional Social Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis (Missouri, USA) will host a special conference November 4-6, 2010, to honor 1993 Nobel Prize co-recipient and former ISNIE presiden Douglass North on the occasion of his 90th birthday.
