PRA works closely with famed property rights champion and President of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy (ILD) in Lima, Peru, Hernando de Soto. PRA leads publication of the International Property Rights Index (IPRI) and the Trade Barrier Index (TBI). IPRI, the flagship publication of PRA, scores the underlining institutions of a strong property rights regime: the legal and political environment, physical property rights, and intellectual property rights.
