The data is then collated and presented in two aggregate measures, the distance to frontier score and the ease of doing business ranking. The distance-to-frontier score measures the distance of each economy to the so-called “frontier economy” or the best performing economy in each of the 11 indicators. The nearer an economy is to the “frontier economy”, the better the performance in that indicator.
