The Center for New Institutional Social Sciences originated with the work of Douglass C. North, Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics in 1993. Central to Professor North’s work is applying economics more effectively in enhancing the growth and development of individual nations. The center started operations in 2001 and established its base programs by 2004. The center is focusing its efforts on two main goals:
- Promoting new institutional designs to help foster the political stability and economic growth of developing and transition economies.
- Drawing on the various social sciences in an interdisciplinary effort to make practical progress towards that first goal.
