Nolan Miller, Professor in Finance at Gies College of Business

Nolan Miller, the Daniel and Cynthia Mah Helle Professor in Finance, is a recognized expert in business and public policy. He has been part of Gies College of Business since 2009, and he is also the director of the University of Illinois’ Center for Business and Public Policy and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

“I’m honored to be part of a College that promotes rigorous research about how market forces and public policy shape one another,” said Miller. “How society chooses to address today’s major public policy challenges will fundamentally shape the future of the US economy.”
