What We Do

From research to round tables

The Fraser Institute is engaged in the following activities:

Rigorous and Meticulous Research
The Fraser Institute measures and studies the impact of markets and government interventions on the welfare of individuals. In our research, we bring together academics, economists, and policy analysts from around the world. The Institute's list of researchers has grown to include more than 350 authors in 22 countries (six of whom have been awarded Nobel Prizes) and it has published more than 600 books and studies and thousands of articles.

We are involved in research on a wide range of topics, such as the quality of education, health care, and the overall tax burden of Canadians.  More...
