The Ratio Institute is an independent research institute in Stockholm. (Ratio is Latin for "reason".) Our purpose is to develop and distribute new knowledge about:

• Entrepreneurship, the market economy and growth
• The conditions for enterprise – laws, rules and values
• How political change can be achieved

The focus is on multidisciplinary research on the Swedish economy, with a clear international connection.

The legal organisation of Ratio is that of a non-profit association, with companies, organisations and individuals as members. Ratio is independent of all political parties.
