Promoting informed debate on public policy

The David Hume Institute promotes research, analysis and debate on public policy issues. Its work is primarily focused in areas linking economics and law, with a particular interest in the interaction between institutional or legal frameworks and market forces.

The offices of the David Hume Institute are based in the historic city of Edinburgh, a city with a rich academic and cultural heritage.

The Institute maintains close links with Edinburgh University and is grateful to the University for hosting its website.
