The Paulson Institute is an independent, non partisan think tank and research institution located at the University of Chicago in Hyde Park, Chicago. Named after former Goldman Sachs CEO and Chairman and the 74th United States Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson, the institute was founded in 2011 by its namesake with the goal of attempting to solve today's most pressing economic and environmental challenges in the United States and China, as well as promote positive systemic cooperation between these two global powers, through aggressive research done by a worldwide network of prominent thinkers.[2][3][4]

The Paulson Institute claims to take a "think and do" approach.[5] It has assembled fellows and researchers from around the globe, including figures like the former Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd, former United States Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman, and the Norman R. Bobins Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Randall Kroszner.[6]
