The Fraser Institute is engaged in the following activities:
Independent research
The Fraser Institute measures and studies the impact of markets and government interventions on the welfare of individuals. In our research, we bring together academics, economists, and policy analysts from around the world. The Institute's list of researchers has grown to include more than 350 authors in 22 countries (six of whom have been awarded Nobel Prizes), comprising more than 600 Institute publications and thousands of articles.
We are involved in research on a wide range of topics, such as education, health care, labor policy, taxation, the environment, energy, pharmaceutical policy, global trade, international security and scores of other issues.
Innovative programs
We have developed a number of innovative programs and initiatives, such as programs for non-profits, educators, Country Audits and our internationally recognized Economic Freedom index.
Economic Freedom
Economic Freedom Indexes measure and rank the economic freedom of a country, state or province. More info...
Country Audits
Country Audits help a country improve its level of economic freedom.
Workshops and seminars
We hold workshops and seminars where students, teachers, and journalists can build their knowledge of how economics -- and more precisely, the free market -- works while participating in lively and rewarding discussions.
Events
We hold a wide range of events with the opportunity to hear internationally acclaimed economists, politicians, and influential policy figures. Past speakers have included former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Danish environmentalist Bjørn Lomborg, and the late Milton Friedman, renowned Nobel Prize-winning economist.
