These areas are included in the distance to frontier score and ease of doing business ranking. Doing Business also measures features of labor market regulation, which is not included in these two measures. This year's report introduces major improvements by expanding the paying taxes indicators to cover postfiling processes-tax audits, tax refunds and tax appeals-and presents analysis of pilot data on selling to the government which measures public procurement regulations. Also for the first time this year Doing Business collects data on Somalia, bringing the total number of economies covered to 190. Using the data originally developed by Women, Business and the Law, this year for the first time Doing Business adds a gender component to three indicators-starting a business, registering property, and enforcing contracts-and finds that those economies which limit women's access in these areas have fewer women working in the private sector both as employers and employees. The report updates all indicators as of June 1, 2016, ranks economies on their overall "ease of doing business", and analyzes reforms to business regulation "identifying which economies are strengthening their business environment the most. Doing Business illustrates how reforms in business regulations are being used to analyze economic outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and for the wider economy. It is a flagship product produced in partnership by the World Bank Group that garners worldwide attention on regulatory barriers to entrepreneurship. More than 137 economies have used the Doing Business indicators to shape reform agendas and monitor improvements on the ground. In addition, the Doing Business data has generated over 2,182 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals since its inception. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aCommercial law$vStatistics 606 $aTrade regulation$vStatistics 606 $aNew business enterprises$vStatistics 606 $aEconomic development projects$xLaw and legislation 606 $aIndustrial laws and legislation 606 $aBusiness enterprises$xGovernment policy 615 0$aCommercial law 615 0$aTrade regulation 615 0$aNew business enterprises 615 0$aEconomic development projects$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aIndustrial laws and legislation. 615 0$aBusiness enterprises$xGovernment policy. 676 $a346.07 712 02$aWorld Bank, 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969977403321 996 $aDoing Business 2017$94352726 997 $aUNINA
