The Kauffman-RAND Institute for Entrepreneurship Public Policy
Studying the way legal and regulatory policymaking affect small businesses and entrepreneurship
The Kauffman-RAND Institute for Entrepreneurship Public Policy is dedicated to assessing and improving legal and regulatory policymaking as it relates to small businesses and entrepreneurship in a wide range of settings, including corporate governance, employment law, consumer law, securities regulation and business ethics.
