Abstract

In this work, the degree of economic freedom is represented by Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom, which has aimed to measure the degree of economic freedom of countries since 1995. The degree of development is represented by the Human Development Index and the Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index, published by the United Nations Development Programme, since the year 1990 and 2010 respectively. Thus, this work aims to offer an analysis of the correlation between the aforementioned indexes over the years. In order to achieve this objective, the work will contain analyses of the evolution of the aforementioned indexes in regard to three countries: Chile, Estonia and Russia.
