"Since 1986, a group of researchers associated with the Fraser Institute have focused on the definition and measurement of an internationally comparable index of economic freedom (Easton and Walker 1992; Gwartney, Block, and Lawson 1996). This work has resulted in the development of a numerical index that now ranks 123 countries in terms of their degree of economic freedom, as measured by a composite of 38 indicators grouped in five major categories: size of government, legal structure, monetary and banking policy, international trade, and regulation (Gwartney and Lawson 2002). One important finding is that the degree of economic freedom, as measured by the Economic Freedom of the World (EFW) index, is highly correlated with both the level and the rate of growth of real per capita GDP (Table 1)."
