Über uns

The Austrian Economics Center's (AEC) main goal is to help create a free and responsible society.

It promotes the ideas of the Austrian School of Economics as a viable economic alternative in Austria and elsewhere, not only by the means of a public think tank, but also as an academic Institute. Furthermore the Institute, which is based in Vienna, takes up topical questions concerning social and economic policies. It also offers studies and solutions on a scientific basis.

The AEC wants to improve the public understanding of key economic questions in order to promote a free and prosperous society. Being a member of the European Coalition for Economic Growth (ECEG), it closely cooperates with similar institutions and organizes international conferences, e.g. the Free Market Road Show®. The Austrian Economics Center is politically independent.

The Austrian Economics Center holds the accounting status of a scientific organisation, therefore, any donations to the AEC are tax deductible.
