PERC hosts and participates in numerous events to encourage discussion and understanding of key issues surrounding free market environmentalism. These events provide an opportunity for distinguished scholars, policy experts, and others—from across the country and, often from around the globe—to speak about how property rights and markets can work to create environmental quality.
PERC events are popular not only due to the quality of the attendees and topics, but also to the opportunity it provides participants to form new friendships, and for sharing perspectives in a one-of-a-kind, engaging environment. Some events are targeted to specific groups such as entrepreneurs, scholars, and students, while others are open to the public.
- 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.
