The purpose of this paper is to examine the fluctuations of entrepreneurial wealth in an open participatory economy and compare it with an interest-based economy. In this hypothetical participatory economy, the investor can freely choose between two types of domestic cooperative financing and external interest-based financing (in international financial markets). To this end, a dynamic model is designed and solved based on the dynamics of entrepreneurial wealth. The results show that when the two cooperative economies are exposed to the same conditions, which means that the opportunity cost of investing is equal to both, entrepreneurial wealth and therefore national investment and production in the cooperative economy are less volatile than the conventional economy. But when the opportunity cost of investing in the two economies is different, only under conditions of entrepreneurial wealth and production in a participatory economy can they be less volatile than the conventional economy. It is considered that these conditions depend on the values of the interest rate parameters, the participation rate and the minimum safe return of the domestic economy.
