About Doing Business
Abstract
Describes how Doing Business measures aspects of business regulation affecting domestic small and medium-size firms, defined based on standardized case scenarios and located in the largest business city of each economy, covering 11 areas of business regulation across 190 economies and relying on four main sources of information: relevant laws and regulations, Doing Business respondents, governments of the economies covered, and World Bank Group regional staff. Ten of these areas—(1) starting a business, (2) dealing with construction permits, (3) getting electricity, (4) registering property, (5) getting credit, (6) protecting minority investors, (7) paying taxes, (8) trading across borders, (9) enforcing contracts, and (10) resolving insolvency—are included in the computation of frontier score and ease of doing business ranking, while features of labor market regulation remains separate. This year’s report expands the paying taxes indicator set to cover postfiling processes as well as a gender dimension in four of the 11 indicator sets.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
