The American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) is a conservative libertarian think tank that " educates people on the value of personal freedom, free enterprise, property rights, limited government, and sound money." The organization divides its efforts into three priority focus areas of "Monetary Economics," "Economics and Economic Freedom," and "Defending Freedom, Combatting Collectivism." AIER is the "oldest economic research institute in the United States."

AIER was founded in 1933 by Edward C. Harwood, an economist and investment advisor. It is located in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Since January 2022, the organization's president has been Dr. William P. Ruger.
