| Tiivistelmä: | The literature on economic freedom and growth has utilized summary measures of freedom to determine its general significance for economic growth. We believe the summary measures lead to misspecification problems. We utilize Heston-Summers growth data to determine which of the disaggregated categories of economic freedom lead to growth and find that only a few of the indexes significantly affect growth. These growth regressions generate new weights for aggregating the indexes into an overall summary measure. This new measure can be interpreted as deriving a relative ranking of nations that have a relatively higher presence of growth promoting economic freedoms and more restrictions on those economic freedoms that inhibit growth. |
