Starting a Business Index

The Starting a Business Index is a sub-index of the World Bank Ease of Doing Business Index.[1]

Authors of the methodology

This methodology was developed by Simeon Djankov, Rafael La Porta, Florencio Lopez-De-Silanes and Andrei Shleifer in a paper The Regulation of Entry.[2]

Simeon Djankov is the creator of the annual Doing Business report, the top-selling publication of the World Bank Group. The Regulation of Entry paper is one of the most-cited papers in all of economics, with 913 references in academic journals and 3,400 citations in working papers and official reports. Since its initial publication in November 2003, Doing Business has generated 9,750,000 media citations, and over 7 million copies sold or downloaded. The Doing Business report recently had its 17th annual book published. In a 2016 article for the Journal of Economic Perspectives Dr Djankov explains how Doing Business started.

A November 2017 EconTalk explains the origins and influence of the Doing Business report.
