The DB exercise reflects these inherent tradeoffs. As a cross-country comparison, DB is not intended to, and cannot, capture country nuances and nonlinear relationships. 16 Seven of DB’s 10 indicators presume that reducing regulation is equally desirable whether a country starts with a little or a lot of regulation. While these limitations do not invalidate the exercise, they underscore the need to use the DB indicators cautiously and in conjunction with complementary tools, such as Investment Climate Assessments, when measuring a country’s investment climate or related measures of development effectiveness.
