If worker co-operatives work, why aren’t there more of them? - LSE Business Review

Firms with majority workforce control are generally successful but increasingly rare. Why don’t more employees own and control the companies they work for?

📢 If worker co-operatives work, why aren’t there more of them? Drawing on new research with Fabio Landini, we discuss how beliefs shape demand for worker ownership. Check it out 👇

🚨 New paper update! Why are employee-owned firms with majority workforce control (e.g., worker cooperatives) so rare, despite evidence showing they perform at least as well as investor-owned firms in many contexts? We argue: beliefs play a key role. 🧵
