The study was compiled by two Clemson University economists and directed by the director of business and economic studies at PRI.

Alabama has the most economic freedom and New York the least, according to the study. Researchers noted that states with the most economic freedom tend to be in the Great Plains and Rockies, resulting in the region developing prosperous centers of high-end services and information technology. The Northeast and Upper Midwest are most restrictive, leaving businesses and customers "suffering," PRI said.
