Welcome to the new PerBylund.com. I am still working on tweaking the design and transferring the content. If you miss any of the old site’s content, please check back in again soon.
I am a PhD Candidate in applied economics in the Division of Applied Social Sciences at the University of Missouri and a research fellow at the McQuinn Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. My dissertation research is on the theory of the firm, to which I have a distinct emergent and entrepreneurial-specialization approach. The ultimate driving force for integrating production processes in firms in my research is the entrepreneur in the Cantillon-Knight-Schumpeter-Mises tradition, who visualizes ways and brings about previously unseen structures to take advantage of the productive powers of the division of labor and capital. The entrepreneur’s primary means of realizing the imagined capabilities and thereby “beating” the market is the firm. (An outline of this theory was published in the 2011 summer issue of the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics.)
My approach has so far provided very interesting results and offers a promising framework for studying the emergence of factor markets and macro-level market structure – as well as the internal structure and evolution of the firm. Two projects I am currently drafting cover these areas: a theory of the emergence of factor markets and factor pricing, and an attempt to apply my distinct approach on the seemingly never-ending General Motors–Fisher Body integration controversy. They both look very promising at this point.
As part of my scholarly work, I have published several articles in refereed journals as well as chapters in books on topics related to my research, and I have presented previous versions of my research papers at many conferences over the last three years (see the Resumé and Papers sections of this web site). I also blog at the McQuinn Center blog entrepreneurship@McQuinn.
