Among the first grant holders who went to Chicago were later economics minister (1975–1976) and finance minister (1976–1982) Sergio de Castro, who joined the MPS in 1982, and Ernesto Fontaine and Carlos Massad from the University of Chile. Among the first to achieve the Ph.D. were Rolf Lüders (member of the Legislative Commission 1974–1981, bi-minister of finance and the economy 1982–1983 and MPS member since 1982), Sergio de Castro, Ernesto Fontaine, and media mogul Alvaro Saieh (Delano and Traslaviña 1989, 13–16). They were trained by MPS members Becker, Friedman, Stigler, and Harberger (though Harberger joined MPS later in 1994).
