The Laffer Center
Founded in 2011, The Laffer Center for Supply-Side Economics is dedicated to preserving and promoting the core tenets of supply-side economics. The Laffer Center is named after Arthur B. Laffer, one of the nation’s leading economic minds and considered by many to be the “Father of Supply-Side Economics.” The Laffer Center houses Dr. Laffer’s life’s work and seeks to be the leading source for supply-side research and thought, including the research and published works of other economists and thought leaders whose ideas have played an instrumental role in the supply-side movement in the United States and abroad.
Perhaps most importantly, The Laffer Center is focused on educating people on economic ideas and ensuring that the lessons of supply-side economics are as relevant and applicable today as they were in the 1980s when the supply-side revolution swept the country .
To accomplish its mission, The Laffer Center will:
- Build and preserve the nation’s largest collection of supply-side research, beginning with an archive of Dr. Laffer’s published research and editorials, and including not only new research in supply-side economics, but also the work of other supply-side scholars and thought leaders past, present, and future.
- Produce original research to weigh in on the issues of the day at the state and federal level, as well as important global economic issues, with a rigorous examination of the role of market incentives in public policy.
- Cultivate relationships with thought leaders, today’s elected officials, and the rising political stars of tomorrow, arming them with supply-side research and policy recommendations that promote economic freedom as a path toward greater prosperity.
- Educate people on the benefits of economic freedom and liberty through aggressive outreach through the media, speeches, events, and other activities that take our message to audiences around the nation and world.
