The Niskanen Center is an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. that advocates environmentalism, immigration reform, civil liberties, and strengthening social insurance around market-oriented principles.[1][3][4] Named after William A. Niskanen, an economic adviser to Ronald Reagan, it states that its "main audience is Washington insiders",[5] and characterizes itself as moderate.[6] The organization has been credited with fostering bipartisan dialogue and promoting pragmatic solutions to contemporary political challenges on issues such as family benefits, climate change, and criminal justice reform.[7]
