In this study, we investigate the impact of economic freedom on five-year GDP growth rate and annual GDP growth rate and find strong evidence in support of a positive association between the growth rate (measured alternately with annual growth rate and five-year growth rate) and the economic freedom index. The index published in Economic Freedom of the World measures the degree to which the policies and institutions of countries are supportive of economic freedom. The cornerstones of economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to enter markets and compete, and security of the person and privately owned property.

For twenty-six years, the Index of Economic Freedom has measured the impact of liberty and free markets around the globe, and the 2020 Index confirms the 

Higher ratings are indicative of institutions and policies more consistent with economic freedom. The Index of Economic Freedom adds up the area scores to a summary index score. It can be expected that the correlation between the area scores and the summary index score (and to the CPI accordingly) is positive. More of these is considered to denote more economic freedom. Both indices also involve indicators of ‘big government’, or levels of government activities. More of that is seen to denote less economic freedom.

Regarding economic freedom, research shows that although it has its negative effects, especially in a shorter term, e.g., the phase of increasing inequality, overall trends are indicative that countries with higher levels of economic freedom have not only higher gross domestic product per capita and its growth rates, but also have better health care, education system, environment protection, as well as greater income equality, and maybe above all, happiness results.

The index published in Economic Freedom of the World measures the degree to which the policies and institutions of countries are supportive of economic freedom. The cornerstones of economic freedom are personal choice, voluntary exchange, freedom to enter markets and compete, and security of the person and privately owned property. This report compares and ranks 22 Arab nations in five areas of economic freedom: size of government, including expenditures, taxes and enterprises; commercial and economic law and security of property rights; access to sound money; freedom to trade internationally; and regulation of credit, labour and business. For Christians, economic freedom is not an end in and of itself. It is a means to to the end of bringing about shalom. Economic freedom is powerfully coordinated with many things Christians need to create and spread flourishing. In addition, it is negatively correlated with things that do not improve human well-being. Economic theory indicates that economic freedom affects incentives, productive effort, and the effectiveness of resource use. Since the time of Adam Smith, if not before, economists and economic historians have argued that the freedom to choose and supply resources, competition in business, The mean scores give the aggregate EFW index, which ranges from 1 to 10, where 10 is the maximum degree of economic freedom. The EFW index shows that economic freedom has improved over time, as the average value has increased from 5.8 in 1990 to 6.6 in 2000, and then rises in the first decade of the 21st century. Higher ratings are indicative of institutions and policies more consistent with economic freedom. The Index of Economic Freedom adds up the area scores to a summary index score. It can be expected that the correlation between the area scores and the summary index score (and to the CPI accordingly) is positive. More of these is considered to denote more economic freedom. Both indices also involve indicators of ‘big government’, or levels of government activities. More of that is seen to denote less economic freedom.

For twenty-five years, the Index of Economic Freedom has measured the impact of liberty and free markets around the globe, and the 2019 Index confirms the formidable positive relationship between An index of economic freedom measures jurisdictions against each other in terms of trade freedom, tax burden, judicial effectiveness, and so on. These factors may be weighted according to their influence on economic freedom and compiled into a single score that allows for a ranking. The Index of Economic Freedom documents the positive relationship between economic freedom and a variety of positive social and economic goals. The ideals of economic freedom are strongly associated with healthier societies, cleaner environments, greater per capita wealth, human development, democracy, The world economy is “moderately free,” with another rise in economic liberty leading to a sixth annual global increase, according to the editors of the 2018 Index of Economic Freedom, released today by The Heritage Foundation. The world average score of 61.1 is the highest recorded in the 24-year history of the Index. Since its inception in 1995, the Index of Economic Freedom has provided powerful evidence that economic freedom, measured in the Index by factors related to the rule of law, limited government, regulatory efficiency, and open markets, is the answer to that simple yet profoundly consequential question.
