Guides for State Policymakers
Introduction
Introduction
PERC has produced four guides for state legislators to help them better understand how local control and market incentives can be used to protect the environment and quality of life. These booklets, listed below, were written by PERC associates and researchers under the direction of Matthew Brown and produced by Dianna Rienhart. They are available from PERC in hardcopy as well as on this web site as PDFs. To read the PDFs you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be dowloaded from the Adobe site for free.

Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
