THE COWLES COMMISSION Rising hostile opposition to the Cowles Commission by the department of economics at Chicago during the 1950s led Koopmans to convince the Cowles family to move it to Yale University in 1955 (where it was renamed the "Cowles Foundation"). This page is not related to or endorsed by the Cowles Foundation or any other organization.
