Founded in 1993, the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy has established itself as one of the premier nonpartisan public policy think tanks in the country. The institute ranks 3rd among university-affiliated think tanks worldwide, 17th among U.S. think tanks and 1st among the world's energy resource think tanks, according to a 2017 study by the University of Pennsylvania's Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program. As an integral part of Rice University, one of the nation's most distinguished institutions of higher education, the Baker Institute has a strong track record of achievement based on the work of its endowed fellows, Rice faculty scholars and staff.

About the wiki

www.edegan.com/wiki hosts a mediawiki-based collaboration platform, which provides a development environment, documentation, and content, for affiliated economic researchers, as well as computer scientists and finance professionals. It primarily supports research lead by or conducted in partnership with Ed Egan. Accordingly, much of the platform is targeted towards research in corporate finance, industrial organization, business economics, and firm strategy, especially as it is applied to the fields of entrepreneurship and innovation. However, the tools, data, and other project outputs it documents are applicable to many other disciplines and topic areas.

Previous incarnations of this wiki supported the Georgetown University team working on Kauffman Incubator Project, the work done by over 70 research interns at the McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Rice University's Baker Institute, and the doctoral community at the Haas School of Business, U.C. Berkeley, especially in the Business and Public Policy group. Much of this content, as well as several hundred pages from prior versions of Ed's personal website, is available as a part of the Information Library. A variety of how-to and guides, including documentation on how to build and configure Research Computing Infrastructure, and other useful resources are also archived there.
