PERC’s Laura Huggins goes back to the basics of free market environmentalism in this interview on Greensense, a radio show hosted by Robert Colangelo that provides an inside look at green initiatives. Huggins discusses the success of Namibia’s communal wildlife conservancies in turning wildlife from a liability into an asset. She explains why one should use caution in jumping on the bandwagon of environmental groups, and articulates why incentives really do matter when it comes to environmental policy.
Randy Rucker, a visiting PERC fellow, appeared on the John Batchelor Show last week to discuss the resilience of honeybees and beekeepers in the face of colony collapse disorder. Listen here.
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.
