Since 1933 the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) has offered scientific, unbiased research to the general public. Our research is provided by eminent economists and scholars and provides timely and incisive analysis of contemporary issues and trends. In summer 2007, for example, AIER explained the nation was close to a recession – a full half-year before popular media reported it.  More significantly, AIER warned of the impending crises in Social Security and Medicare before these programs even became law. AIER’s sustaining members, however, were apprised of such information long before the general public, via the Institute’s regular publications.

What this means for you as a member is the information you receive in the 22 yearly Research Reports and 12 yearly Economic Bulletins will help you make the best financial decisions possible for you and your family. Topics cover a wide range of personal finance and retirement issues, as well as a broad spectrum of general economic topics. There is something for virtually everyone, which you can see when you browse the catalog of books and peruse the Members Only  archive of articles going back to 1934.
