Learning outcomes
The major goal of this course is to provide students with a better and more rigorous understanding of the specific role that so called nonprofit organizations play within contemporary economic systems (i.e. within post-industrial economies). Next, the course focuses on the interplays between nonprofits, for-profit firms and public organizations. These issues can be fruitfully addressed through the lens of the major theoretical constructs and empirical findings obtained in the last years within the framework of nonprofit sector economics.
Program
- Why does the non profit sector exist, within a market economy? Weisbrod's theory of government failure and Hansmann's theory of market failure
- Collective action dilemmas, trust and pro-social behavior
- Fair trade and market economy: are they compatible?
- Positional goods, relational goods, social capital accumulation and the happiness paradoxes
- Fundraisers as mediators between donors and nonprofit organizations. Ethical issues: US position papers and the Italian experience
