Abstract: As the just-retired creator of the Philanthropy Research Workshop and its progenitor, Workshop In Multidisciplinary Philanthropic Studies, I reflect briefly on what has been accomplished in the first 13 years of the seminar. Then I talk about my new coauthored book, Economics for Nonprofit Managers and Social Entrepreneurs (Dennis R. Young, Richard Steinberg, Rosemarie Emanuele, and Walter Simmons, 2019), with a focus on how new research can fill in gaps in our understanding regarding the managerial economics of the nonprofit sector.
