Reviews for The Governance of Not-for-Profit Organizations
"This focused analysis by leading economists ultimately challenges the reader to think about just how much nonprofit behavior can be explained by formal models, equations, and the utility-maximizing assumptions of economics. Important parts do come into sharper focus thanks to this fine and precise work." - Peter Frumkin, International Journal of Not-for-Profit Law"
