Chambers Publishes Beer Regulations Study

A study on beer regulations in every state, co-authored by Dr. Dustin Chambers, professor of economics, has attracted attention from media and craft beer enthusiasts nationwide.

Released by Utah State University’s Center for Growth and Opportunity, “The Economic Geography of Beer Regulations” showed California, by far, places the most restrictions on brewers and retailers, with those from South Dakota incurring the least.

Co-authors with Chambers were Drs. Trey Malone, assistant professor in the Michigan State University Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics; and Aaron Staples, Michigan State University Ph.D. student.
