BI History

The Budapest Institute was founded in November 2008 as a partnership of young economists and political scientists sharing theoretical and hands-on experience in research and government administration. The founding partners are Zsombor Cseres-Gergely, Petra ReszketÅ‘, Ágota Scharle and Balázs Váradi.

The Institute is an independent think tank that produces analyses and impact assessments to assist the preparation, monitoring and evaluation of policy interventions.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it. (Upton Sinclair)
