But first, a little bit about CEI:
"In today's political climate of higher taxes and the
expansion of government, the need for free market voices
like CEI is critical to the survival of America's free
enterprise system."
- The Honorable Dick Armey
U.S. House of Representatives
Founded in March of 1984, the Competitive Enterprise Institute is
committed to advancing the principles of free enterprise and limited
government. The Institute is founded on the belief that free markets and
individual liberty best serve the public interest by providing freedom of
choice and equal opportunity. The Institute's articles on key policy
issues appear regularly in major media publications such as *The Wall
Street Journal*, *The Washington Post*, and *USA Today*. The Institute's
analysts also appear on international and national television programs
such as *The MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour*, *Good Morning America*, CNN's
*Crossfire* and *Larry King Live*. CEI analysts can also be heard on
numerous national and local radio shows across the country.
The Institute's policy analysts concentrate on the following issue areas:
ECONOMIC REGULATION
We analyze the human and economic costs of government tax and
regulatory policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
The Institute's work emphasizes the reinstatement of private
incentive and accountability centering on enforcement of property
rights and targeted liability for pollution.
Environmental Education Project
Production and distribution of materials that examine
environmental issues based on the latest scientific and
economic research.
FREE MARKET LEGAL PROGRAM
Launched in 1986, this program seeks to carry the battle for
economic rights into the legal arena. Issues and cases are
selected on the basis of their importance as policy and precedent
and on the likelihood that the Institute can make a significant
contribution. Some recent activities have addressed FDA reform,
rent control, and Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards (CAFE).
"Death by Regulation" project
Aimed at shifting the policy debate toward market-based
approaches to risk management. It attempts to do so not
through conventional policy analysis, but by focusing on
previously unrecognized victims of regulatory failure. In
particular, the project demonstrates that risk management
by government can often have lethal effects.
