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