About The Buckeye Institute | Mission | Core Values | Staff | Scholars | Job Postings
The Buckeye Institute is committed to quality research and analysis.
We proactively develop our ideas with the assistance of 45 scholars from 23 universities and colleges throughout Ohio and then through our publications, lectures and special events, distribute those ideas to policy makers and key opinion leaders to make meaningful change.
The Buckeye Institute's work has made inroads in numerous areas: identifying regulations that stifle economic growth, demonstrating the benefits of market-based education reform, publicizing free market alternatives in health care, showing the savings that competition will bring to city services, and identifying how to cut sales, income, property and business taxes and questionable government spending.

The Buckeye Institute is supported through the generous contributions of our members. No government funds are accepted and no contract research is performed.
Mission
The Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions is a nonpartisan research and educational institute devoted to individual liberty, economic freedom, personal responsibility and limited government in Ohio.
Core Values
The Buckeye Institute is committed to:
Policy Analysis NOT politics
We are committed to public policy research and advocacy without regard to politics. We cooperate with elected officials without consideration to political party.
Solutions NOT platitudes or empty rhetoric
We believe in offering tangible policy prescriptions that will improve the lives of all Ohioans.
Individuals NOT bureaucracies or organizations
We believe individuals are best situated to know what is best for themselves. Accordingly, we support public policies that empower individuals not organizations or agencies.
Long-Term Change NOT opportunism or expediency
We do not expect immediate results, but work for a long-term change in the intellectual climate. We will not trade off principles for short-term political gain.
Cooperation NOT coercion or mandates
Since voluntary cooperation is the essence of a civil society, public policy should support voluntary solutions to social problems not government mandates or plans.
Empirical Research NOT polemics
Data-driven research and analysis is essential to elevate the policy debate beyond partisan interests.
Entrepreneurship NOT corporatism
We support an entrepreneurial economy that is open to all individuals from all classes. We oppose attempts to close economic life to those without the "proper" corporate or government credentials.
Freedom NOT constraint
Our most core value is freedom. We support the right of individuals to choose for themselves how to live and work in the Ohio economy.
