Dear friends,

with the help of David Bollier, who produced the original list below, I will
start to compile a list of ...


http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons-Oriented_Economists

thanks a lot for sending suggestions my way; eventual help with bio's would
also be welcome,

who among the Berlin participants should be considered economists and should
be added to the list?

Michel

Michel,
Here's my top-of-mind list of commons-oriented or -friendly economists:

Josh Farley, U. of Vermont (ecological economics, community development)
Robert Costanza, U. of Oregon (a leading ecological economist; not sure of
commons-orientation)
James Boyce, UMass Amherst (ecological economics)
Nancy Folbre, UMass Amherst (feminist economics/caring economy)
Gerald Epstein, UMass Amherst (cooperatives)
Katherine Gibson, Australia (community economics; former writing partner
with the late Julie Graham, a.k.a.,
        J.-K. Gibson-Graham)
Elinor Ostrom, Arizona State & Indiana U. (commons; not an economist, but
she might as well be)
Wolfgang Hoeschele, Truman State University, Missouri (Solidarity Economy,
commons)
Sam Bowles, Santa Fe Institute (economics as seen through complexity theory
& evolutionary sciences)
Yochai Benkler, Harvard Law School (digital commons; not an economist, but
he might as well be)
Peter Barnes, Pt. Reyes Station, California (former entrepreneur; commons;
Sky Trust) *
David Korten, author
Richard Norgaard, UC Berkeley
Wolfgang Sachs, Wuppertal Institute, Germany
Herman Daly (?), perhaps too economistic and not commons-oriented enough,
based on a brief encounter with him.
Association for Georgist Studies (the Henry George crowd)
E.F. Schumacher Foundation:  hosts annual lecture series that often includes
iconoclastic economist-types
New Economics Institute:  Schumacher spinoff with ties to New Economics
Foundation in UK, which aspires
    to develop alternative economic approaches.  A more nominal than real
project because it has so little money.

Peter Barnes hosted a small retreat of commons-oriented economists in Santa
Barbara 5-7 years ago.  He would be worth consulting if we ever try to do
something in this area.

There are probably some other economists or near-economists who attended the
ICC.
