Liberty and Development: A Further Empirical Perspective

Zane Spindler

Public Choice, 1991, vol. 69, issue 2, 197-210

Abstract: This paper uses the Wright ratings of economic freedom to investigate the relationship between economic freedom and economic development for most countries in the world. This relationship is apparently strong and direct for such economic freedoms as freedom of property and freedom of movement, but inverse for freedom of association. These findings appear to be independent of the type of economic system or civil liberties, as measured by the Gastil ratings, which have their own important effects on economic development.
