The Anti-Economics Trend in Technology Regulation: Lessons for Economists and Legal Scholars
During a half-day seminar, scholars and policy experts will discuss how the backlash against the use of economics in policymaking is increasing. A keynote address and two mixed panels of academics and policy analysts will discuss how this anti-economics trend affects the commercialization of technology and what, if anything, academics and other scholars can do about it. This event is co-sponsored with the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) and immediately precedes the Society for Institutional and Organizational Economics (SIOE) Annual Conference Meeting in Montréal, Canada.
