Nowadays, understanding and identifying economic freedom means the existence of an institutional frame, rules which guide human behaviour in a predictable manner. Approaching economic freedom from an institutional point of view is consistent with the political processes and their consequences as it is also with the economic stability. This study emphasizes the correlation between extending economic freedom and real GDP per capita, human development, global competitiveness, and the diminution of corruption. To this end, we have compared the index of economic freedom against various statistical indicators of development.
