Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business

The CSIS Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business focuses on international economic issues and how they impact U.S. competitiveness and economic security. Key areas of focus will include trade policy, supply chain resilience, investment policy, international finance, commercial diplomacy, and new economic alliances.

Established in 1981, the Scholl Chair examines the relationship of international trade and investment to economic growth, innovation, and development. In a time of accelerating global integration and financial instability, America’s role on the world stage is influenced by its ability to effectively integrate trade and international economic objectives into its broader foreign policy.
