Mission
The Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) was established in 1975 at the UNLV Lee Business School. CBER conducts applied and data driven research to assist business, government, and the community at large. CBER is a public resource that seeks to extend the benefits of UNLV’s expertise in research throughout the State of Nevada and the United States.
Funding
About one-third of CBER's funding is provided by the State of Nevada. The remaining two-thirds are provided by gifts, sponsorships, subscriptions to CBER services, and contract research and data analysis that CBER performs for clients.
