Continuing a distinguished tradition in support of economic theory research
The William S. Dietrich II Economic Theory Center was established in 2008 to support research in economic theory and its dissemination through short- and long-term visitors, conferences, and other activities. Each year, we host year-long fellowship programs along with several other short-term visitors.
