Conference History
The Carnegie-Rochester Conference on Public Policy was initiated in the early 1970s through the efforts of the Bradley Policy Research Center at the William E. Simon School of Business Administration at the University of Rochester and the Center for the Study of Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University.
Under the leadership of the late Allan Meltzer (Carnegie Mellon University) and the late Karl Brunner (University of Rochester), the conference developed into a semi-annual event held in April in Rochester and November in Pittsburgh.
Subsequently, New York University's Stern School of Business joined Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business and the University of Rochester’s Simon School of Business as a host institution. The April meeting of the conference now alternates between Rochester and New York City.
