The Institute of Business and Economic Research was founded in 1941 to stimulate and facilitate research in problems of economics and business. Today IBER oversees 10 research centers and programs. Each Center develops its own agenda for faculty research, research publications and conferences, and outreach programs. Most Centers also produce Working Paper Series, all of which are available online at the IBER section of the California Digital Library.
