About the Ronald Coase Institute

The Ronald Coase Institute was created in 2000 by a group of institutional scholars working together with Ronald Coase, Nobel laureate in economics, to advance research on the rules, laws, norms, and customs that shape real-world economies. Through its workshops, mentoring programs, and grants, the Institute assists young scholars to study significant economic challenges and seek practical solutions that expand opportunities for individuals to improve their lives.

The Institute’s goals are to: (1) promote innovative ideas that address institutional barriers to development and economic growth; (2) build the capacity of emerging scholars worldwide to conduct and communicate rigorous institutional research; (3) advance research on critical institutional issues by supporting underexplored topics and under-resourced scholars; and (4) foster a global network committed to high-quality institutional analysis.
