Yemen, Rep. of Economic Freedom
The annual survey Economic Freedom of the World is an indicator produced by the Fraser Institute, a libertarian think tank which attempts to measure the degree of economic freedom in the world's nations. Economic Freedom of the World index has been more widely used than any other measure of economic freedom, because of its coverage of a longer time period
Their measure of economic freedom is based on that the following standards:
- Personal choice rather than collective choice,
- Voluntary exchange coordinated by markets rather than allocation via the political process,
- Freedom to enter and compete in markets, and
- Protection of persons and their property from aggression by others.
A state will rate high when it focuses on protection of people and their property from the actions of aggressors, enforcement of contracts, and provision of the limited set of public goods like roads, flood control projects, and money of stable value and little else, but a country’s rating on the EFW summary index will fall as government expenditures increase and regulations expand.
