Gregory Keith Dow (born February 2, 1954)[1] is an economist at Simon Fraser University[2] who has contributed to the economics of participation and particularly to research on worker cooperatives. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1981 with a thesis "Investment under uncertainty : the capital market and the behavior of the firm" [3]
He is the author of the 2003 book Governing the Firm: Workers' Control in Theory and Practice (Cambridge University Press, 2003). According to WorldCat, the book is held in 773 libraries.[4]
His most recent book, The Labor-Managed Firm: Theoretical Foundations attempts to build a theoretical foundation in order to explain the overwhelming preeminence of capital-managed firms viz. labor-managed firms in the real economy. His main conclusions include the fact that market imperfections[5] along with a number of organizational weaknesses that LMFs (labor-managed firms) face that capital-managed firms (KMFs) do not[5] prevent the spread of LMFs through the real economy.
