More than 1,950 scholars, policymakers, and journalists participate in an international survey of more than 6,500 think tanks worldwide. This results in a ranking the top 150 groups based on a set of 18 criteria, including: quality and quantity of publications, media reputation, reputation of staff among scholars and analysts, ability to bridge the gap between policymakers and the public, and impact on society.
It’s exciting to be recognized for our efforts at the federal, state, and local levels by an international committee. Policymakers, reporters, and taxpayers regularly rely on the Tax Foundation’s research and analysis, and the report’s recognition of our work is evidence of our continually growing impact.
We’re certainly grateful that there is such an interest in how to make the tax system better and how our work contributes to those efforts.
