Public Institutions Index, Macroeconomic Environment Index, Technology Index
The rankings are calculated from both publicly available data and the Executive Opinion Survey, a comprehensive annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum together with its network of Partner Institutes (leading research institutes and business organizations). The subindexes are weighted at the stage of development of the countries. Therefore the countries are allocated to stages of development using GDP per capita at market exchange rates.
