Maxim Institute
The Maxim Institute is a research and public policy think tank based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Although initially identifiable as a social conservative organisation, its policy statements have emphasised fiscal restraint within tax and welfare policy since its former director, Bruce Logan, left in 2005.
