Correlations with the International Property Rights Index reveal crucial relationships between property rights and thriving societies.

The IPRI shows a very strong correlation with the Global Entrepreneurship Index (0.9) showing its crucial role in driving free enterprise.

The IPRI shows an outstanding correlation of 0.89 with the Network Readiness Index, 0.81 with the Global Innovation Index, and 0.8 with The World Energy Trilemma Index, insisting on the appropriateness and relevance of property rights systems for emerging societies.
