Quantifying Peace and its Benefits<br />
The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit<br />
think tank dedicated to shifting the world’s focus to peace as a positive, achievable, and<br />
tangible measure of human well-being and progress.<br />
IEP achieves its goals by developing new conceptual frameworks to define peacefulness;<br />
providing metrics for measuring peace; and uncovering the relationships between<br />
business, peace and prosperity as well as promoting a better understanding of the<br />
cultural, economic and political factors that create peace.<br />
IEP has offices in Sydney, New York and Mexico City. It works with a wide range of partners<br />
internationally and collaborates with intergovernmental organizations on measuring and<br />
communicating the economic value of peace.<br />
