According to the theory of human ecological systems (theory of human ecosystems), individuals, groups, organizations, and institutions in a territory, in interaction with each other, form integrated economic, social, cultural, and political systems, which are collectively called the human biome. The performance and level of development of the ecosystem depends on the quantity and quality of its members, and on the quantity and quality of their interaction. The ecosystem and its individual constituent members also interact. The quality of the ecosystem affects the performance of different types of individuals, groups, organizations, and institutions. Openness and freedom are one of the important characteristics of the quality of the ecosystem. It seems that the greater the degree of openness and freedom in the biome, the better the performance of individuals, groups, organizations, and institutions located in it. The university is one of these institutions. Many studies have been conducted on the impact of this institution on its biome. However, the impact of the ecosystem on this institution has received less attention. Therefore, the aim of the present article was to "analyze the impact of economic freedom (as a dimension of the biome) on the performance of universities." For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical approach, documentary method, secondary cross-sectional data in 2024, and structural equation modeling technique were used. The results of the analyses show that most of the determinants of economic freedom in the areas of rule of law, government size, regulatory efficiency, and market openness have a positive impact on university performance in the three areas of national, international and outcomes. Therefore, it can be concluded that the freer and more competitive a country's economy is, the better the universities in it will perform. Therefore, developing countries like Iran, which suffer from the lack of economic freedom, must liberalize and make their economic system more competitive if they want to improve the performance of their universities and knowledge ecosystem.
