The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between ease of doing business score (EDBS) and cost of business start-up procedures (CBS), age dependency ratio (ADR), strength of legal rights index (SLRI), time required to get electricity (TRGE), domestic credit to private sector (DCPS), and start-up procedures to register a business (SPRB). Since 2004, the World Bank evaluates 190 economies based on business regulatory indicators ignoring other factors that may be related to business environment. This paper investigates new factors related to EDBS ignored by the World Bank since 2004. The results of correlation analysis show a negative and significant correlation between EDB and CBS, ADR, TRGE, and SPRB. Nevertheless, a positive and significant correlation was found between EDB and SLRI and DCPS. The linear regression model finds that SLRI and DGPS affected EDB positively and significantly. However, TRGE and SPRB affected negatively to EDB. Asian policymakers should reinforce SLRI and increase DCPS. However, they should also reduce TRGE and SPRB to improve EDB. Further research should be conducted on other regions and test also other factors.

The study deals with the ease of doing business and global competitiveness assessment models. Both models basically describe conditions for doing business in a certain country that is being ranked and evaluated. However, different data mining principles differ the results (quantitative and qualitative methods), although factors measured are basically the same concerning its nature and importance. The World Economic Forum’s method takes into account several factors that are possible to evaluate only in quantitative method (e.g. Ethics and corruption). We have overviewed both models and graphically presented evaluation processes with detailed factors that are evaluated in each model.

Electronic commerce has been recognised as a source of fundamental, pan-sectoral change to the conduct of business; Chan and Swatman (2000) use the term: “A new paradigm for doing business.” Other authors have gone further, viewing modern IT developments as the latter part of a period starting in the mid-1970s that represents a transition to nothing less than a new phase of capitalist development (Amin, 1994). Benjamin, Rockhart, Scott Morton, and Wyman (1983) also suggest that the world economy has been fundamentally altered by the globalisation of competition which has largely been caused by the declining cost and consequent increasing spread of IT developments.


Significance The World Bank’s 2017 Ease of Doing Business ranking shows Tanzania improving, moving up to 132nd place from 144 last year. However, an austerity drive and a crackdown on tax evasion may undermine progress. Businesses have shuttered since President John Magufuli took office, and commercial retrenchment could dampen key growth sectors including construction, telecoms and financial services. Impacts A fast-growing population of 53 million will add to an already large consumer base. A sharp drop in tourism revenue could prompt a review of taxation on the sector. Natural gas discoveries could boost revenue, but exports will only begin in the next decade.

This article analyses the reality relationship among government, market and enterprises in Vietnam in the period of 1996-2012. We find out that: (i) the effectiveness of government indicators such as ease of doing business index, the economic freedom index, the government effectiveness indicators (belong to the governance indicators) improved considerably overtime but have not reached the average level of the world; (ii) the relationship between government and enterprises has not been clear-cut. As a result, though many reforms have been conducted, state owned enterprises still take up a high percentage in many industries and enjoy multiple preferential polices while operate inefficiently. This articles also points out the reasons of the situation and gives some recommendations for solving those problems.

The COVID-19 pandemic threatens the world's investment climate, including Indonesia. Indonesia is required to increase its business ease ranking so that it can compete in attracting investment. Tax administration has an important role as one of the factors determining the ease of doing business according to the World Bank. The ease of paying taxes in Indonesia has continued to increase from time to time but is still lagging behind other countries. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of tax administration in relation to the ease of doing business in Indonesia; enrich the literature on tax administration efficiency policies; and provide recommendations for improvement of ease of doing business through efficiency of tax administration based on tax administration theory and relevant concepts of ease of doing business. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that the ease of paying taxes in Indonesia is still low and there are three indicators that need to be improved, namely payment, time and filling index. The author recommends simplifying tax payment types, utilizing cashless payment methods through digital services and using Artificial Intelligence in making tax decisions.

Countries across the world differ in terms of macro-environmental factors. These differences reflect in their performance as well as growth and development. Most efficient countries have some common characteristics that make them distinct as compared to less efficient countries. Every year World Bank ranks countries on Ease of doing business Index. The present paper is an attempt to see if like other macro environmental factors (per capita income corruption etc.), there is any pattern in culture/social dimensions as well in two different groups of countries, i.e. countries which are ranked high and those which are ranked low on Ease of Doing Business Index. The data is taken from World Bank’s website. Top and bottom ranking countries were analyzed as two separate groups on two different parameters from Hofstede’s cultural dimension framework, viz., Individualistic vs. Collectivist and Power Distance.

Since 2003, the World Bank has produced an annual report ranking economies based on ease of doing business score. However, little is known whether the improvements made by evaluated economies on starting business indicators are statistically significant as claimed by the World Bank. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which starting business indicators were improved in 145 economies evaluated. Indicators assessed are score-starting a business (SBS), starting a business - procedures -men (SBPM), Starting a business –time-men (SBTM), Starting a Business - Cost - Men (SBCM), starting a business - procedures - women (SBPW), starting a business - Time - Women (SBTW), Starting a Business - Cost - Women (SBCW), and Starting a Business - Paid-in Minimum capital (SBPMC). This study used secondary quantitative data retrieved from the database of the World Bank for the 2004 and 2020 periods. The sample size was made by 145 economies. Wilcoxon-sign-rank-test-paired-sample was computed using R programming environment. The results of the Wilcoxon-sign-rank-test-paired-sample indicated that the mean differences are statistically different from zero for all indicators except evaluated. This means economies evaluated improved those indicators for 2020 compared to 2004. The study’s findings provide clear insight to policymakers regarding innovations made on the efforts of ease of doing business improvement. Better use of the findings of this study would lead to reducing corruption and increasing formal business, increasing the number of newly registered businesses, generating an increase in business opportunities of starting a new business, and increasing the productivity of companies. This study evaluated whether business regulatory implemented regarding starting a business was statically significant. Future research should be conducted to test empirically the significance of implemented procedures related to other indicators evaluated in doing business reports. This research is novel by testing empirically innovations made in 145 world economies on starting business requirements.
