About

Two men and a woman on the dias at a Stigler Center event

Founded in 1977, the George J. Stigler Center for the Study of the Economy and the State is dedicated to understanding issues at the intersection of politics and the economy.

Through research support, analysis of data and economic trends, and a wide range of courses, events, initiatives, and resources, the Stigler Center has become an intellectual destination for research on regulatory capture, crony capitalism, and the various forms of subversion of competition by special interest groups.
