Working mode, goals

The Hayek Institute seeks to disseminate ideas of its namesake as well as of represenatives of the Austrian School in German-speaking countries. The Institute publishes studies, opinion pieces, articles and announcements. Conferences and events like policy circles and panel discussions are organized.

The think tank cooperates intensively with scientists and pracitioners with a business background.

Cooperations with Think Tanks

Think Tanks that claim to cooperate with the Hayek Institute

While the section above shows Think Tanks the Hayek Institute claims to cooperate with, the list below shows Think Tanks that claim to cooperate with the Hayek Institute.


Topics

We used the DGs of the EU to generate a basic list of topics. This list is going to be steadily extended. However we try to preserve a persistent list of topics.


Semantic Fields

What we call here a semantic field is the idea to categorize think tanks in a two level system. The first levels are so called 'Virtual Networks' and the second are the semantic fields. Accordingly every semantic field entered here has to be attached to a virtual network. If you would like to follow a special phenomenon among think tanks please contact us and we are going to add a new virtual network. Semantic fields are topics that promote a virtual network. Lets take climate change as an example: 'climate change skeptics' is the virtual network and 'adaption instead of mitigation' would be one possible semantic field.

Notes

This section is used to note presumptions that need further investigation, as well as things that don't fit into other sections.

The Hayek Institute publishes the "International Library of Austrian Economics". Beschäftigt sich mit Handelliberalisierung, staatlicher Haushalts-, Sozialpolitik und Deregulation unter den Prämissen der staatlicher Fiskalausterität und Befreiung der Marktsubjekte von staatlichen Einschränkungen. Das Hayek Institute gab 2010 ein klimaskeptisches Buch heraus und legt immer wieder Werke von Wissenschaftlern der österreichsichen Schule neu auf.
