    Related Enforcing Contracts Datasets

    Indicators on enforcing contracts measure the efficiency of the judicial system in resolving a commercial dispute. The data are collected through study of the codes of civil procedure and other court regulations as well as questionnaires completed by local litigation lawyers and judges. The ranking of economies on the ease of enforcing contracts is determined by sorting their distance to frontier scores for enforcing contracts. These scores are the simple average of the distance to frontier scores for each of the component indicators.
