The Cato Institute is pleased to co-publish the present report on India with Indicus Analytics and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in New Delhi, and thus add to our knowledge about the effects of policies on outcomes. At a time when India has benefited from sustained high growth as a result of liberal reforms, we considered it important to measure economic freedom within this vast country and to highlight the diverse levels of freedom from state to state. The uneven spread of economic freedom in India is a reminder to state-level policymakers that there is much they too can do to improve the welfare of their citizens. In that sense, we hope that this report can help as an empirical guide to better policies.
