Mercatus Center, Research think tank in Arlington, US.
Mercatus Center is a research organization based at George Mason University in Arlington that conducts economic analysis and studies on market-related policy issues. The institution produces detailed reports and papers that explore how markets function and how government regulations affect economic activity.
The organization was founded in 1980 at Rutgers University as the Center for the Study of Market Processes and later relocated to George Mason University in Virginia. This move allowed the research group to expand its work and deepen its focus on market-related economic questions.
The center maintains strong connections with academic institutions, governmental bodies, and private sector organizations to advance market-oriented economic research.
Visitors can access research findings, reports, and economic data that are available online and address current topics of interest. The organization's resources can be useful for researching regulatory issues and market analysis topics.
The organization publishes the 'Freedom in the 50 States' index, which ranks each state based on its economic and personal liberty standards. This index is regularly updated and serves as a tool for comparing how different states approach questions of freedom and regulation.
