The Stigler Center at Chicago Booth is dedicated to understanding the interaction between politics and the economy through research on regulatory capture, subversion of competition by special interests, and the role of private markets and competition in promoting human welfare. Nobel laureate George J. Stigler founded the Center for the Study of the Economy and the State at the University of Chicago in 1977. From its inception, the Stigler Center has been a joint enterprise of economists and legal scholars at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Department of Economics, and the Law School.
