Abstract

The article presents a novel Reservation Economic Freedom Index (REFI) to quantify and compare economic freedom across Indian reservations in the United States. It emphasizes the significance of institutions in promoting tribal prosperity and economic growth, drawing on classical liberalism and economic freedom principles. The REFI focuses on institutions under tribal control, such as governance structures, regulatory frameworks, and openness and transparency. The study demonstrates that reservations with higher REFI scores exhibit greater prosperity, as measured by median household income. The article concludes by highlighting the potential for future research to establish causal relationships between economic freedom and prosperity on reservations.
