Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership

The Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership sits within a corner of Morningside Heights, between the academic pulse of Columbia University and the Upper West Side’s tree-lined streets. Housed in Jerome L. Greene Hall, Box F-18, at 435 W 116th St, New York, NY 10027, this research institute traces the contours where market mechanics meet corporate governance. Its work threads through cases, policy papers, and public commentary, pulling threads between law, economics, and corporate structure. Founded to examine how ownership and governance shape markets, the Center orchestrates discussions that bridge theory and practice. Roundtables explore shareholder activism, boardroom dynamics, and regulatory shifts in real time. Faculty affiliates and visiting scholars rotate through, bringing fresh angles on hostile takeovers, fiduciary duties, and cross-border transactions. The output rarely stays on the shelf—it lands in journals, briefs, and legislative testimony. Practical details matter. For a conversation or to confirm availability, reach the office directly at (212) 854-3600. Hours and access policies aren’t posted at the door, so a quick call keeps expectations aligned. Finding the place is straightforward: the map shows a pin on the northeastern block of the Columbia campus, a ten-minute walk from the 1 train at 116th Street.
