Adam Smith Centre, Economic research institute in Warsaw, Poland
The Adam Smith Centre is an independent research institute in Warsaw that focuses on economic studies and the analysis of market mechanisms. The organization maintains a comprehensive collection of publications and research papers accessible through its website.
The institute was founded in September 1989 as Poland began its transition from a centrally planned economy to a market system. It became the first independent research center of its kind in Central Europe during this transformative period.
The Centre hosts regular economic forums and discussion events where researchers, business figures, and decision-makers meet to explore market-related issues and policy questions. These gatherings reflect its role in shaping economic conversations across the country.
The institute is centrally located in Warsaw and easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors can explore the facilities and library or attend events by getting in touch with the organization ahead of time.
The Centre introduced Tax Freedom Day calculations to Poland, a measure showing the point when citizens begin working for themselves rather than to pay taxes. This calculation has since become an annual discussion point about the country's tax burden.
