Welcome to IFREE!
The International Foundation for Research in Experimental Economics (IFREE) was established in 1997 by Dr. Vernon L. Smith to support research and education in experimental economics. Today, IFREE remains the only foundation annually supporting:
- experimental research projects,
- graduate and post-doctoral education,
- seminars and outreach workshops in experimental economics, and
- outreach activities in the application of experimental economic research to important public policy questions.

On November 10, 2008, Vernon Smith gave a talk titled "Financial Crisis: We've met the Enemy and he is us" at the Istituto Bruno Leoni in Milan. The Istituto Bruno Leoni promotes a public discussion of awareness and information on the themes of the environment, competition, energy, market liberalisation, taxation, privatization and reform of the social state. Created in 2003 on the model of Anglo-Saxon think tanks, IBL strives to be a stimulation and resource for the political class by raising the level of awareness of private citizens, and drawing their attention to all matters involving public policy and the role of the state in the economy. |
