Friedrich A. v. Hayek Institut

The Hayek Institut describes itself as a politically independent think tank that follows the theories of Friedrich August von Hayek. It states that it is convinced that the creation and preservation of prosperity rest on individual freedom and personal responsibility, and that it uses events, analyses and studies to show these connections and to present the public with corresponding solutions to current problems. Its stated activities include the Center Right Coalition Meeting, the Free Market Road Show in Vienna, the calculation of the Tax Freedom Day, RatingEurope, and "100 Fragen". It also published an economic analysis of the 2025/2026 budget.

It also published an economic analysis of the 2025/2026 budget, in which Senior Research Fellow Martin Gundinger concluded that the government's course relies on growing state spending, rising debt and an expansive levy policy, thereby endangering prosperity and individual freedom in the long term.
