Nonprofit organizations are arguably the fastest growing and
most dynamic part of modern market economies in democratic countries. This
Handbook explores the frontiers of knowledge at the intersection of economics
and the management of these entities. Top researchers in the field review the
role, structure, and behavior of private nonprofit organizations as economic
units and their participation in markets and systems of public service
delivery, assess the implications of this knowledge for the efficient
management of nonprofit organizations and the formulation of effective public
policy, and identify cutting-edge questions for future research.
Building on the success of the first edition, this
thoroughly revised and expanded edition explores: (1) areas of general
agreement from previous research; (2) areas of conflicting results and
unexplored questions; (3) the relative roles of theory, data availability, and
empirical analysis in explaining gaps in our knowledge; and (4) what must be
done to improve our knowledge and extend the literature. Selected original
chapters addressing especially challenging topics include: the value of risk
management to nonprofit decision-making; nonprofit wages theory and evidence;
the valuation of volunteer labor; property tax exemption for non-profits; when
is competition good for the third sector; product diversification and social
enterprise; international perspectives; the application of experimental
research; and the macroeconomic effects of the nonprofit sector.
