The Kiel School

Seal of the Kiel Institute

The "Kiel School" refers to the group of economists attached to the Kiel Institute of World Economics during the interwar period. Founded by Bernhard Harms in 1914. The Kiel Institute was headed by Adolph Lowe from 1926 to 1931. Its research associates included Hans Neisser, Jacob Marschak, Gerhard Colm and, for a brief period, Wassily Leontief. The Kiel School was dismantled after Hitler's rise to power and much of it was transferred to the New School for Social Research in New York - where it was recast as the "Institute of World Affairs".
