Building on Columbia Law School’s longstanding strength in corporate and securities law, the Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership conducts timely research on crucial real-world issues. Focusing on the global financial markets, the center studies the changing relationships between investors and corporations, the impact of developments in the market and new investors on corporations and companies, and any possible additional structural or policy changes needed for the full restoration of public trust in the financial and real economy.
The center's cornerstone research project will be The Project on Investment, Ownership, and Control in the Modern Firm, which will offer the first comprehensive analysis of the identity, incentives, and influence of the institutions emerging as owners in the newly fragmented world of equity finance.
