James C. Miller III Biography

James C. Miller III is an American economist and former government official whose career has placed him at the center of significant regulatory and fiscal policy debates in U.S. history. Miller earned a B.B.A. in economics from the University of Georgia and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Virginia. Before entering government service, he was a resident scholar at the Center for the Study of Government Regulation at the American Enterprise Institute, where he later served as co-director.

Miller served as chairman of the Federal Trade Commission between 1981 and 1985 and as budget director for President Ronald Reagan between 1985 and 1988. He was the first member of the Federal Trade Commission with a background as a career economist, as opposed to the legal background more common among its members. Before taking the Federal Trade Commission chairmanship, Miller was the first administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and the executive director of Vice President George H. W. Bush's Presidential Task Force on Regulatory Relief.

As director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, Miller was a member of President Reagan's Cabinet and a member of the National Security Council. His tenure at the Office of Management and Budget made him one of the most influential fiscal voices of the Reagan era, succeeding David Stockman in the role. Miller is recognized as an expert on a wide range of public policy issues, including federal and state regulatory programs, industrial organization, antitrust, intellectual property, fiscal finance, tax structure, federal and state spending, deficits, and public choice.

Among his publications are "Monopoly Politics" (Hoover Institution Press), "Fix the Budget!: Urgings of an 'Abominable No-Man'" (Hoover Institution Press), "Public Choice and Regulation: A View from inside the Federal Trade Commission," co-edited with Robert J. Mackay and Bruce Yandle (Hoover Institution Press), and "Reforming Regulation," co-edited with Timothy Clark and Marvin Kosters (American Enterprise Institute). These works reflect his focus on market-oriented policy reform and government accountability.

Miller was appointed by President George W. Bush to be a member of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service, was later confirmed by the U.S. Senate, elected chairman, and re-elected to that role. He is an emeritus senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a senior adviser at Husch Blackwell, an international law firm. Miller is also a distinguished fellow at the Center for Study of Public Choice at George Mason University and is frequently called upon by major news outlets to comment on public policy issues.
