The American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) educates people on the value of personal freedom, free enterprise, property rights, limited government, and sound money. AIER's ongoing scientific research demonstrates the importance of these principles in advancing peace, prosperity, and human progress.
AIER is a nonpartisan research and education nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization focused on the importance of markets, with a full range of programs and publications on the social sciences with a primary emphasis on economics. AIER as an institution affirms free enterprise, economic liberty, property rights, sound money, and legal institutions that shore up the rights of individuals to be free to the extent that their actions do not impinge on the rights of others. AIER was founded by Colonel E.C. Harwood (1900-1980) in 1933.
The Sound Money Project (SMP) was founded in January 2009 to conduct research and promote awareness about monetary stability and financial privacy. The SMP is comprised of leading academics and practitioners in money, banking, and macroeconomics. It offers regular commentary and in-depth analysis on monetary policy, alternative monetary systems, financial markets regulation, cryptocurrencies, and the history of monetary and macroeconomic thought.
The Public Choice and Public Policy Project (PCPPP) was founded in December 2021 to create a network of scholars offering regular commentary and in-depth analysis on public policy using the tools of Public Choice economics. Nobel Laureate James Buchanan described Public Choice as "politics without romance." Scholars associated with the PCPPP seek to understand the reality of government decision making, identify the consequences government decisions have on our lives, and suggest alternatives to the romantic political notions that often dominate policy discussions.
