Abstract
The centrality of institutional determinants for economic performance has recently flourished in the economic policy debate. ‘Doing Business’ is a project launched in 2004 by the World Bank with the aim of providing objective measures of business regulation and enforcement across the world. Several legal and economic scholars have questioned the reliability of Doing Business indicators, the methodology and the theoretical background. We discuss the main critics raised and the potential of the World Bank project towards the economic analysis of comparative law.
