- About PERC
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.
- Publications
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
- Research
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?
- Programs
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.
- Fellowships
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.
- Multimedia
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
