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.
