We are pleased to formally invite paper submissions for Regulation and Abundance.
Sponsored by the Knee Regulatory Research Center, Pacific Legal Foundation, and the Institute for Humane Studies, this conference will be held at the John Chambers College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University July 8–9, 2026.
Abundance represents the opportunity for all people to afford a flourishing life. This flourishing requires the removal of barriers that promote artificial scarcity within a society, creating possibilities—not restricting them. The 2026 conference focuses on how regulation affects our ability to attain an abundant future—one with better economic opportunity, lower costs, and an abundant supply of healthcare, housing, and energy. Topics may span all areas within economics, policy, and bureaucracy with a unifying theme of regulation.
