były zmiany w 2008!

Every year, the editors evaluate the Index
of Economic Freedom and consider ways to
improve the product. This year’s edition
of the Index continues the substance and style
of the 2007 edition with a renewed emphasis
on a more scientific and objective methodology
coupled with an accessible format. There
are few dramatic changes in the 2008 Index, but
there are a number of important refinements.
These changes continue the Heritage Foundation/Wall
Street Journal tradition of year-byyear
improvement. For example, changes in
the methodology were instituted in 2000, 2002,
2004, 2006, and 2007 to enhance the robustness
of one or more of the 10 factors that are used
to measure overall economic freedom. Each
time, the entire time series is revised so that
all scores are as consistent as possible, dating
back to 1995. Our goal is to make the Index a
resource that is credible, usable, and relevant
to a changing world, with new data and knowledge,
while also consistent with our heritage.
A more detailed explanation of what has
changed, as well as what has not changed, in
the 2008 Index follows
