The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, known simply as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), is a conservative[2][3][4][5] center-right[6][7]/right-wing[8][9][10][11][12][excessive citations] think tank based in Washington, D.C., that researches government, politics, economics, and social welfare.[13][14] AEI is an independent nonprofit organization supported primarily by contributions from foundations, corporations, and individuals.
Founded in 1938, the organization is aligned with conservatism but does not support political candidates.[15] AEI advocates in favor of private enterprise, limited government, and democratic capitalism.[16] Some of their positions have attracted controversy, including their defense policy recommendations for the Iraq War, their analysis of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, and their energy and environmental policies based on their more than two-decade-long opposition to the prevailing scientific opinion on climate change.
AEI is governed by a 28-member Board of Trustees.[17] Approximately 185 authors are associated with AEI.[18] Arthur C. Brooks served as president of AEI from January 2009 through July 1, 2019.[19] He was succeeded by Robert Doar.[20]
