To help you find your way around the complex and growing materials of this website - now over 350 pages, three quarters of a million words, and 2000 images - here are some tips for navigating. You can discover resources here concerning Ronald Coase and New Institutional Economics, archives of workshops and conferences, the work of the Institute, news of alumni, upcoming events, and more. Creating this website from its beginning in early 2000 to its present size - one page at a time - is my continually exhilarating and challenging task. Working together with the many hundreds of individuals included in these pages is a delight. I hope you'll enjoy exploring!
