Their research identified studies that dealt with economic freedom; specifically the correlation between economic freedom and economic growth. Of those studies, 93.5 percent identified a positive correlation between economic freedom and economic growth. This evidence of consensus among economists about the positive relationship between freedom and prosperity is a powerful tool for Libek as it advocates for free market policies to the Serbian people and government. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Free trade zones in Serbia \u2013<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span>current situation overview<\/span><\/a><\/em>\u00a0provides a detailed analysis of the effects the fourteen designated \u201cfree trade zones\u201d had on the Serbian economy in 2016. Contrary to what the name may imply, free trade zones are burdened with many cumbersome regulations and taxes which keep them from thriving as much as they could otherwise. In spite of those obstacles these zones have been tremendously successful \u2014 more than doubling in size since 2008. <\/span><\/p>\n Libek\u2019s report found that these zones employed 25,000 people in 2016 and that a 10 percent increase in productivity of the zones would lead to a nearly 1 percent increase in GDP for the entire nation. The report also concluded that, had the entire country\u2019s economy grown at the same rate as that of the free trade zones, the Serbian GDP in 2016 would have been 316 billion dollars. That would have made Serbia one of the top fifteen wealthiest countries in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n Libertarian Club Libek is on the front line for freedom in a part of Europe that has a long history opposition to individual liberty, which makes its continued successes in research and advocacy that much more impressive and heartening.<\/span><\/p>\n Leia mais<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2 minutos<\/small> Serbian-based\u00a0Libertarian Club Libek\u00a0has recently released two studies \u2014 one drawing from international economic studies that agree that free economies result in\u00a0thriving economies,\u00a0and the other explains the\u00a0positive impact\u00a0that \u201cfree trade zones\u201d have had on the Serbian GDP \u2014 both of which make the case for lower regulation as a means of strengthening the Serbian economy.
