Resumen
Descripción
A debate has arisen concerning the economic efficiency of cooperatives relative
to other organizational forms. This paper discusses the efficiency concepts and
economic theory relevant to the debate and then proceeds to study the empirical
evidence. No credible evidence exists to support the proposition that cooperatives
are inefficient relative to investor-owned businesses.
