  1. > **How do you measure economic freedom?**

    > We measure economic freedom based on 12 quantitative and qualitative factors, grouped into four broad categories, or pillars, of economic freedom:

    > Rule of Law (property rights, government integrity, judicial effectiveness)

    > Government Size (government spending, tax burden, fiscal health)

    > Regulatory Efficiency (business freedom, labor freedom, monetary freedom)

    > Open Markets (trade freedom, investment freedom, financial freedom)

    > Each of the twelve economic freedoms within these categories is graded on a scale of 0 to 100. A country’s overall score is derived by averaging these twelve economic freedoms, with equal weight being given to each.
