Markets & Institutions Workshop
Melbourne
Is the market an institution? If so, on what grounds?
Summary
In this half-day workshop, COSM explored the institutional nature of the market, comparing it to other institutional arrangements from historical, ethnographic, and sociological persepectives. Drawing on the new institutional economics theory of Ronald Coase, we examined the institutional nature of the market and compared it with other institutional arrangements.
