The characteristic features of this economy have been examined in a few disparate works (Argiolas, 2009;Baldarelli, 2011;Bruni, 2002;Bruni and Grevin, 2016;Bruni and Uelmen, 2006;Bruni and Zamagni, 2004;Frémeaux and Michelson, 2017;Gallagher and Buckeye, 2014;Grevin, 2019Grevin, , 2022 and are also reported in a collection of documents (testimonies, theses, research papers, and conferences) on the EoC website at https://www.edc-online.org/en.
