Top 20 most cited articles published in the JEBO 2005-2009

Some years ago, when i was (still) a young Professor, I decided to organize a workshop on the theories of the firm. I contacted one of the leading figures of the field, Bob Gibbons - MIT. We never met before, but I was convincing enough (and Bob was curious enough) for him to come and give a lecture on four formalizable theories of the firm. Several years after this workshop, I edited with a colleague of mine (Pierre Garrouste) a special issue in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization with a collection of papers coming from this workshop. It is a pleasure to see that few years after some of them are often cited, and especially the one written by bob that is in the top 20 most cited papers of the review. 

I hope we will be able to do the same with the coming June conference - good papers are selected for the conference and a special issue regrouping papers on a common topic - such as public-private contracts challenges - could be a valuable output of the conference.
