Freeman Economía y Finanzas Economic Freedom Labor Regulation Property Protection Employment Protection This paper presents evidence that legal protection of property rights is indeedan important contributor to economic success but that institutional and legalprotection of the rights of labor is also associated with economic success, particularlyin developing countries.
