increase in their distance to frontier score from the previous year using comparable data.
Selecting the economies that imple-mented regulatory reforms in at least three topics and had the biggest improve-ments in their distance to frontier scores is intended to highlight economies with ongoing, broad-based reform programs. The improvement in the distance to frontier score is used to identify the top improvers because this allows a focus on the absolute improvement—in contrast with the relative improvement shown by a change in rankings—that economies have made in their regulatory environ-ment for business.
EASE OF DOING BUSINESS RANKING
The ease of doing business ranking ranges from 1 to 189. The ranking of economies is determined by sorting the aggregate distance to frontier scores, rounded to two decimals.
NOTES
1. See Djankov, Manraj and others (2005). Principal components and unobserved components methods yield a ranking nearly identical to that from the simple average method because both these methods assign roughly equal weights to the topics, since the pairwise correlations among indicators do not differ much. An alternative to the simple average method is to give different weights to the topics, depending on which are considered of more or less importance in the context of a specific economy.
2. For getting credit, indicators are weighted proportionally, according to their contribution to the total score, with a weight of 60% assigned to the strength of legal rights index and 40% to the depth of credit information index. Indicators for all other topics are assigned equal weights.
3. Changes making it more difficult to do business are subtracted from the total number of those making it easier to do business.

Doing Business 2016
Labor market regulation data
Regulations are essential for the proper functioning of labor mar-kets. They can help correct market
imperfections, support social cohesion and encourage economic efficiency. Labor market regulations cover a wide spectrum, from rules governing arrangements for individual contracts to mechanisms for collective bargaining. Evidence from global studies shows that labor market regula-tions can have an impact on a number of economic outcomes—including aggre-gate job flows, trends in productivity and the speed of adjustment to shocks. The challenge in developing labor policies is to avoid the extremes of over- and under-regulation by balancing labor flexibility with worker protection.1
The negative effects of overregulation are well documented in the economic literature.2 For example, strict employment protection laws may discourage hiring and reduce economic growth by creating disincentives for the movement of workers from lower- to higher-productivity jobs. Underregulation can also have adverse effects. Firm productivity can decline if workers are not allowed to take sick leave or are constantly asked to work long hours with no weekly rest days. And under-regulation can undermine social cohesion in economies with no minimum wage regulation, unemployment protection or medical insurance. Data collected for this year’s report show that 30 economies have no minimum wage, 115 have no unemploy-ment insurance and 15 have no paid sick leave. These economies may fail to offer a basic level of protection for their workers, leaving them more vulnerable to economic shocks.
Historically, Doing Business has measured flexibility in the regulation of employment as it relates to the hiring and redundancy of workers and the scheduling of working hours. This year the scope of data collec-tion has been expanded to better capture different dimensions of job quality. About a dozen new research questions related to job quality have been introduced, including on social protection, dispute resolution mechanisms, availability of on-the-job training and equal treatment of men and women.
Evidence from the data shows that employment flexibility can go hand in hand with job quality. Denmark’s “flexi-curity” system offers flexibility in hiring and firing rules and provides a strong safety net for workers in the form of unemployment protection and social benefits, though its fiscal costs can be high during periods of economic slow-down. Several other OECD high-income economies—such as Australia, Austria and Switzerland—allow a long duration for fixed-term contracts and flexibility in redundancy rules while also offering social benefits.
The data presented in this year’s report provide a broader view of the different ele-ments of labor market regulation and can help researchers and policy makers assess the balance between flexibility and worker protection in every economy.

Doing Business would not be possible without the expertise and generous input of a network of more than 11,400 local partners, including legal experts, busi-ness consultants, accountants, freight forwarders, government officials and other professionals routinely adminis-tering or advising on the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in the 189 economies covered. Contact details for local partners are available on the Doing Business website at http://www .doingbusiness.org.
The names of the local partners wishing to be acknowledged individually are listed below. The global and regional contribu-tors listed are firms that have completed multiple questionnaires in their various offices around the world.

Doing Business 2016 is the 13th in a series of annual reports investigating the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. The report provides quantitative indicators covering 11 areas of the business environment in 189 economies. The goal of the Doing Business series is to provide objective data for use by governments in designing sound business regulatory policies and to encourage research on the important dimensions of the regulatory environment for firms.
