Call for paper for a special issue on ''Business Management and Austrian Economics'':

Business and Austrian Economics
Mises Wire Mark Thornton
Guest Editor: Dr. David J. Rapp, Saarland University, Germany Call for Papers for a special issue scheduled for 2016 on “Business management and Austrian economics”  Paper Submission Deadline: August 1, 2015 The subject “Business management and Austrian economics” examines the interrelations between business management and Austrian economics. This type of analysis seems particularly suited, since Austrian economics does not – unlike current mainstream economics – require escapist assumptions regarding the design of the market or market participants‘ actions; instead, it entirely deduces its findings from the analysis of the individual acting human. For this reason, Austrian economics is closely related to business management issues, since both must be analyzed from an individual perspective. Therefore, areas of interest for this BFuP special issue include, but are not limited to:
  • Austrian value theory as a fundament for business valuation
  • The entrepreneur’s role in the economy
  • Central banks‘ interest policy and its effects on businesses and their decisions
  • Austrian business cycle theory and its importance for investment decisions
  • Central banks‘ contribution to the accruement of economic crises
  • Government interventions and their effects on businesses
  • The minimum wage and its consequences for businesses and employees
  • The interest rate as an expression of individual time preferences
  • Fractional reserve banking and banking crises
  • Subjectivism in economics
  • Historical relations of Austrian economics and business management
