Good morning guys,

I am writting from Trento (Italy) where we are attending to the EURICSE Summer School about behavioral economics and pluralism of organization structures. It is really interesting, and we are introducting ourselves in the new field for study non-profit, cooperative and other social organizations.

The first day and a half (yesterday and this morning), we attend the sessions by Urs Fishbacher. He is a Switcherland schorlar in experimental economics due to work about core of cooperation between people and the effect of comunication, punish and rewards over it.

And this afternoon and tomorrow, sesion are running by Enrique Fatas, from LINEEX experimental lab center. He is researching from a more applied point of view than professor Fishbacher, working about informational, globalization, and other effects on economic behaviors.

The fantastic thing is that Berhanu Gebremichael, Harri Kostilainen and me met in this Summer School, and we can recuperate the atmosfere we lived in Roskilde. I would like to share with you how the EURICSE Summer School is going in this blog during next days. We keep in contact through this blog.

About our presentations in 2nd Summer School in Roskilde

Hi,


one of the first opportunities to this blog be alive is to upload the powerpoint presentations that we used in the group meeting during the Summer School in Roskilde. This way, everyone can be remember the ideas which emerged in the presentation of other colleagues and to fit them in a better way.

A proposal for doing in a structured way is:

1. To upload the presentation in www.slideshare.net. You can create our own profile or use the EMES profile sent to your personal e-mail.

2. To embed this presentation in this blog. There is a video below with the steps to do it. I hope that it is useful. Please, do not hesitate to contact if you have any problem with this.

Embedding a slide show in the blog using SlideShare





3. To quote the blog´s entry with the presentation with the following tags: 2nd summer school; Roskilde; slides; "your name"; group # (with the number in which you exposed).


Thank you very much. With this facts, little by little, we are able to create the research community that we wish.

Lecture by Elinor Ostrom

Lecture by Elinor Ostrom - at Nobelprize.org
I guess we all know the 2006 Nobel peace prize winner Muhamad Yunus, (his name has become synonymous with business social entrepreneurship) but when someone (I can't remember who it was) talked about Elinor Ostrom as a side comment in one of the summer school events, I think it is fair to say that I wasn't the only one in the room hearing the name for the first time.
I want to thank Rocío for sending us this link. It is a lecture of the 2009 economic Nobel prize winner, where in less than half an hour brilliant lecture she manage to summarize her life project, about common pool resources and the governance regimes of those resources that aren't necessarily government nor private (though she did not mention the term Civicness or Civil Society once). Or as the anonymous PhD student from the 'A Fine Theorem' blog put it: "[Ostrom's] basic insight is that… …there are countless empirical examples of common property management without direct government involvement".

On several occasions in the summer school we talked about the important effort to make (somewhat restricting but usable) working definitions of social and organizational formations. We also talked about the importance of making visible, through theoretical and empirical research, other ways of what can be consider as part of the economy.
All these issues are being addressed in Ostrom's lecture. I particularly recommend watching the 17 to 24 Minutes of the video.

Technical note: If the streaming doesn't go well, you can download the whole video file from the nobel prize site. The lecture is also available as a pdf file.

Enjoy,
Asaf
