Join the Birkbeck Centre for Applied Macroeconomics for a one-day workshop on the topic, Imperfect Competition and Unconventional Firms. The workshop will take place on Friday 28 April, from 11:15 -17:30. 

This dedicated BCAM workshop will bring together researchers studying macro/ micro theoretical and empirical implications of imperfect competition. We will particularly focus on the role of firm ownership in imperfect competition, such as cooperatives, worker enterprises and employee shareholders, in times of rising wealth, income and consumption disparities between workers and capital owners.
