National Center for Policy Analysis

The National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) was a non-profit American think tank whose goals were to develop and promote private alternatives to government regulation and control. Topics it addressed include reforms in health care, taxes, Social Security, welfare, education, and environmental regulation.

The NCPA was founded in February 1983 and ceased operation in mid-2017, announcing it had faced three years of serious financial trouble. An NCPA website is being maintained by a former board member at NCPAThinkTank.org, where publications have been archived. A history of the organization and summary of its accomplishments may be found at the Goodman Institute.

The think tank's first offices were at the University of Dallas. The organization later had offices in both Dallas and Washington, D.C. In 2014, the organization's president John C. Goodman left it after being accused of misconduct by the NCPA board. In July 2017, the board decided to cease operations immediately following three years of financial difficulty.

NCPA was founded by British businessman Antony Fisher together with Dallas businessmen Russell Perry (CEO of Republic Financial Services), Wayne Calloway (CEO of Frito-Lay), John F. Stephens (CEO of Employers Insurance of Texas), and Jere W. Thompson (CEO of the Southland Corporation).

Its founding president was libertarian economist John C. Goodman. Its first offices were at the University of Dallas. The organization later had offices in Dallas and Washington, D.C..
