The World Bank has being doing an extensive study of the ease of doing business. Their “Doing Business” annual report is available on ProQuest and at the doingbusiness.org webpage. This will give you a pretty detailed picture of various aspects of the institutional environment in your country.

In addition to the Doing Business report, use at least one other source. For example, Transparency International does an annual report on corruption around the world. The World Bank also publishes a set of Worldwide Governance Indicators including indices of political stability, rule of law, and several other institutional factors that may impact doing business in a country. These are just suggestions, you may find other sources as well.

Once you are doing your research on the country of your choice, write a 2- to 3-page paper covering the following issues:

1. The overall picture of how easy it is to do business in this country.
2. Type of government and level of political stability.
3. The legal/regulatory system in this country and whether or not it is conducive to doing business.
4. The impact of corruption on doing business in this country.

Remember, this is NOT a term paper due at the end of the course. Rather, this is done module by module.
