Understanding the functioning of free economies--how to preserve them, how to solve the problems that arise in them, and how to capitalize on their strengths--is one of AEI's primary goals.

This section of the website gathers together AEI research, events, and scholars focused on the basic facts and underlying trends that define the outlook for the global economy.

Global Business in Iran: Interactive

A new AEI web tool, "Global Business in Iran: Interactive," documents major financial transactions with the Islamic Republic between 2000 and 2007. The findings, based on open-source reporting, are organized by country, economic sector, company, and financial institution. The Institute's researchers have documented more than 300 transactions amounting to more than $150 billion. The interactive tool will be updated regularly as new information comes in.
