Director’s welcome...

I welcome this opportunity to introduce you to the faculty members who are affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Industry Studies.

The Center for Industry Studies was established in 2001 to support research that is based on a deep understanding of firms and the markets in which they compete. Research supported by the Center focuses on the practical experience of industry and requires extensive field research. In this way, the Center encourages communication between business firms and academic research as a means of building partnerships that yield educational opportunities and promote economic development.

While the Center is housed in the Department of Economics, its scope is multidisciplinary. We welcome your inquiries.
