Ethan Allen Institute (EAI), founded in 1993, is a public policy research and education organization in Vermont focused on free-market solutions.

The organization's stated mission is to "influence public policy in Vermont by helping its people to better understand and put into practice the fundamentals of a free society: individual liberty, private property, competitive free enterprise, limited government, strong local communities, personal responsibility, and expanded opportunity for human endeavor.

Commentaries and policy analyses written by the EAI team are published by most Vermont newspapers and several broadcast outlets.

Current concerns are the state’s demographic and fiscal future, economic and business climate, education, health care, energy, transportation, property rights, and constitutionalism.
