Institute for Economics and Peace

The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), chaired by technology entrepreneur Steve Killelea founder of Integrated Research, is a global think tank headquartered in Sydney, Australia with branches in New York, Mexico City and Oxford. IEP is dedicated to shifting the world's focus to peace as a positive, achievable, and tangible measure of human well-being and progress. It achieves its goals by developing new conceptual frameworks to define peacefulness, providing metrics for measurement, uncovering the relationship between peace, business, and prosperity, and by promoting a better understanding of the cultural, economic, and political factors that drive peacefulness.
