Formerly known as the Center for Advanced Macroeconomic Policy (CAMP), the center was founded by a grant from Harvey Wilmeth in 1990. CAMP was designed to be a research and policy center for transforming the debate about how best to achieve a sustainable and equitable economic system.

After the international financial crisis of 1997, the center’s emphasis has shifted toward internationalization. The new name, the Center for Research on International Economics (CRIE), reflects this change. CRIE is a resource center for the university and members of the public who wish to broaden their understanding of economic issues and problems in the U.S. as well as other countries.

CRIE endeavors to inform people about economic issues that are important to the local, national and international community. Through working papers and the sponsorship of speakers and conferences, CRIE engages in extending our knowledge and understanding of economic problems worldwide. With a strong international academic focus here at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, including the recently added B.A. program in Global Studies, CRIE also provides applied research opportunities for students interested in global economic issues.
