The American Consumer Institute Center for Citizen Research is a nonprofit, educational and research organization focused on economic policy analysis from a consumer welfare perspective. It emphasizes using quantitative, cost-benefit analysis and transparent methods to assess policy alternatives in order to measure the impact on consumers as a whole, rather than reflecting narrow advocacy positions. Based in Pennsylvania, the institute positions itself as a voice for consumers by applying economic tools to evaluate how markets affect welfare and to highlight potential unintended consequences of policy changes. The organization aims to serve policymakers, academics, and informed readers interested in empirical analyses of consumer welfare rather than opinion-driven conclusions. Recent activities include releasing reports on regulatory impacts, launching initiatives such as an Academic Integrity Project, and starting a podcast to discuss policy topics.
