The Institute for Applied Economics and the Study of Business Enterprise is an inter-divisional organization at the Johns Hopkins University, dedicated to improving our understanding of applied economics, with a particular reference to currency and monetary policies, and business enterprise, with a particular emphasis upon innovations in high-tech industries. The institute conducts seminars and colloquia, publishes studies and working papers, and encourages the work of scholars in history, economics, political science, and other related disciplines. Its co-directors are Louis Galambos and Steve H. Hanke. Its Italian wing is directed by Professor Franco Amatori, Bocconi University, Milan.

 

Louis Galambos is an economic and business historian whose work in recent years has focused on innovation in modern science-based industries, in particular pharmaceuticals and telecommunications. He works on the intersections between private, nonprofit (NGO) and public institutions.
