Fundação Getúlio Vargas meeting on Institutions and Organizations

Thanks to Danny Sokol (Florida) for letting us know about the upcoming meeting at the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Brazil on “Institutions and Organizations. There is still the possibility to submit paper proposals.  The meeting will be held in São Paulo, October 13th - 14th 2008. Following is the call for papers.

The III Research Workshop on Institutions and Organizations will be held at Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV-SP) from October 13th to 14th 2008. The III RWIO is sponsored by three Brazilian Academic Institutions (Fundação Getúlio Vargas São Paulo, IBMEC São Paulo and University of São Paulo). 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.  We encourage the participation of researchers of Brazilian and international institutions. The following program is based on both invited and selected papers.  The organizational committee invites the submission of papers to the following the topics:

Panel I: Organizations, law and corruption

Panel II: Institutions and Development

Panel III: Institutions and environment

Panel IV: Psychological issues and organization strategies

Panel V: Industrial and competition policy
