American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is a nonprofit public policy research organization based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1938, AEI is dedicated to advancing ideas rooted in democratic capitalism, free enterprise, and individual liberty to address the most pressing public policy challenges facing the United States and the world. Throughout its history, AEI has sought to foster intellectual engagement across differing perspectives, believing that robust and civil discourse contributes to better public policies and stronger democratic institutions. AEI’s community of scholars conducts rigorous, evidence-based research across a wide spectrum of policy areas – from economics to foreign affairs to domestic policies.
