“…The result is consistent with previous studies, which show that easiness in doing business perceived to be happened in ''cleaner'' countries. (Mongay & Filipescu, 2012;Nageri & Gunu, 2020). Second, this study reveals that economic growth, as shown by GDP per capita, is indeed linked with CPI scores.…”

One of the landmark projects from the World Bank was the initiative called the Ease of Doing Business (EODB), which captures business regulatory settings in countries worldwide. The EODB scores have long indicated a country’s attractiveness in doing business with private sectors and have attracted many scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to explore. Many researchers have indicated that doing business scores were associated with economic growth, international relations, business development, and many other areas. This study contributes to the debate on how business regulations are associated with the perception of corruption index (CPI) using moderated mediation analysis. The results find that GDP per capita mediates the relationship between EODB and CPI and that country’s income category moderates the mediation. The relationships are explored for a period of ten years, from 2010 to 2019 worldwide (n= 146). The country’s income category moderated the mediating impact of GDP per capita by softening the influence of EODB on CPI ( .3013, BootSE = .0507, LLCI =0.2246, ULCI= 0.4226). The author suggests corroborating factor analysis and exploring the variables using more advanced path analysis for future research

“…In the context of more specific countries and more recent studies, Nageri & Gunu (2020) found that control of corruption scores positively impacts doing business in West African countries using multiple regression analysis. The result supports the finding by Mongay & Filipescu (2012).…”

“…In fact, either the possibility of attracting FDI, either the ability to help the population to take charge of the business risk, also depends on regulations that are in favour of risk takers and that do not get the debtors excessively if they are entrepreneurs. Corruption, inflation, and imports are negatively associated to EDB in a set of countries in the period 2014-2017 for West African Countries (Nageri & Gunu, 2020). The regulatory policy is an essential tool to promote EDB in India (Natarajan & Raza, 2017) and Oman (Bhandari & Mohite, 2022).…”

In this article, we estimate the variable Ease of Doing Business-EDB in the context of Environmental, Social and Governance-ESG model. We use data from ESG World Bank dataset. We have used data from 193 countries in the period 2011-2020. The level of EDB is positively associated, among others, to “Individuals Using the Internet”, “Government Effectiveness”, “Cooling Degree Days”, and negatively associated to “Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing, Value Added”, “Forest Area” and “Strength of Legal Rights Index”. Furthermore, we have applied a cluster analysis with the application of the k-Means algorithm optimized with the Elbow Method and we have found the presence of four clusters. Finally, we have proposed a confrontation among eight different machine- learning algorithms to predict the future value of EDB. We have found that Linear Regression is the best algorithm and that the level of EDB is expected to improve of 1.66% for the analysed countries.
