Contract Enforcement Cost Scores by Economy

Scores from 0 to 100 benchmark the cost to enforce a contract as a percentage of the claim value across global economies. The data measures regulatory performance relative to best practices. It is produced by the World Bank's Doing Business project.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between a country's 'Score' and its economic development indicators.
• Rank economies based on their 'Score' to identify regions with high or low contract enforcement costs.
• Model changes in the 'Score' over time to assess the impact of regulatory reforms.
• Correlate the enforcement cost 'Score' with other Doing Business indicators like starting a business or getting credit.

Strengths

• Standardized scoring on a 0-100 scale allows for direct comparison between economies.
• Data is compiled by a major international organization, the World Bank.

Limitations

• The underlying 'Cost (% of claim)' column data is not provided, limiting deeper cost analysis.
• The Doing Business project has been discontinued, so data is not updated beyond 2020.
• Specific sample size, row count, and geographic coverage are unknown.
