We are very grateful to the following advisors, whose guidance and support was invaluable in the original construction of the Index in 2019.

A diverse range of experts contributed to the Index construction phase, from academics, to researchers, and policy leads from a variety of universities and organizations across the United States. This broad collaboration enabled a comprehensive range of views to be captured and ensured the best outcome at each stage of the construction process. The Legatum Institute synthesized all the expert views to reach a final Index framework in 2019, and therefore the views expressed are those of the Institute and do not necessarily reflect the individual views of the advisors.
