Researchers claim that the Ease of Doing Business (EDBI) is an index that represents only one facet of the conditions of the business environment because the data is collected from companies of a certain size and city. When considering the problem of the representativeness of the EDBI, researchers assume that all the variables in the index vary according to the size of the company or city. In fact, many EDBI variables vary according to the size of the company or city e.g. variables related to public bureaucracy and which are measured by the time and the number of procedures required to do business (World Bank 2018). However, another part of the EDBI variables fits into the classic definition of Transaction Costs. That is, non-operating costs present in all transactions and which resemble transport fees or taxes. Among the EDBI variables, seventeen variables fit this definition because they are precisely taxes and fees regulated by governments that affect companies across the economy (World Bank 2018). This data set is used to create a new index to better represent the conditions of the countries' business environment. The data from twenty countries of Latin America (LA) are retrieved from the World DataBank database (World Bank 2020), which excludes Cuba due to the unavailability of the data.

The selected variables were weighted according to the opinion of ten experts. The evaluation data of these specialists, as well as the calculations used to find the weights are also available.

Since 2003, the World Bank publishes the Ease of Doing Business (EDB) Index aimed at measuring the regulatory efficiency and institutional quality of key processes that affect the business environment in a given economy. While highly influential, particularly in the developing world, the EDB has also been faced with criticism and at times controversies. In 2020, the World Bank decided to interrupt temporarily the publication of the EDB report as a result of an audit that revealed politically motivated manipulation of EDB rankings. Over time, Canada’s relative rankings fell from 4th in 2007 to 23rd in 2020 with no significant changes in its business environments or policies. Canada’s rank fall can only be partially explained as other economies such as Georgia and Mauritius surpassed Canada with higher overall rankings. To understand the underlying causes of Canada’s rank declining, the Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) commissioned a study to look at Canada’s performance in all 10 areas of the EDB Index. The study also looked at other competitiveness and economic freedom indices (e.g. IMD World Competitiveness Index, World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness report and the Fraser Institute Index of Economic Freedom) and found no such decline in Canada`s performance.
