Booth Stigler Center: Stigler 3

About the Department

The Stigler Center at Chicago Booth challenges conventional thinking and investigates the obstacles to competitive markets - with a specific focus on regulatory capture, crony capitalism, the various forms of subversion of competition by special interest groups, and, more broadly, political economy in an ever-changing world. It is committed to advancing knowledge on these topics for students, scholars, journalists, policymakers, engaged citizens, and beyond. The Center investigates what works in capitalism - and what doesn’t - by bringing together various viewpoints through research, conferences, speaker series, educational opportunities, the Journalists in Residence and Affiliate Fellows Programs, the ProMarket.org publication, and the Capitalisn’t podcast, among others.

The University of Chicago Booth School of Business is the second-oldest business school in the U.S. and second to none when it comes to influencing business education and business practices. Since 1898, the school has produced ideas and leaders that shape the world of business. Their rigorous, discipline-based approach to business education transforms students into confident, effective, respected business leaders prepared to face the toughest challenges.

Chicago Booth has the finest set of facilities of any business school in the world. Each of the four campuses (two in Chicago, one in London, and one in Hong Kong) reflects the architectural traditions of its environs while offering a state-of-the-art learning environment.

Chicago Booth is proud to claim:

- an unmatched faculty.
- degree and open enrollment programs offered on three continents.
- a global body of nearly 56,000 accomplished alumni.
- strong and growing corporate relationships that provide a wealth of lifelong career opportunities.

As part of the world-renowned University of Chicago, Chicago Booth shares the University's core values that shape the distinctive intellectual culture. At Booth, they constantly question and test ideas, and seek proof. This extraordinarily effective approach to business leads to new ideas and innovative solutions. Seven of the Booth faculty members have won Nobel Prizes for these ideas - the first business school to achieve this accomplishment.
