Model proposal to optimize efforts and improve the position in the ranking "doing business"

Abstract

The general objective is to estimate the probability for a Mexican state to improve its position in the Doing Business Ranking. After selecting the variables with a larger or more relevant significance in terms of goodness-and-fit tests, the logistic regression method is applied for its binary characteristic, interpreted for this study as a change or no change of position in the ranking throughout different periods. The probability is estimated for a certain state of Mexico to improve its position. Twenty-eight trials were developed, enabling to acknowledge in which conditions of cost, time and number of procedures there is an improvement in the position. The results provide elements to suggest or recommend adjustments in the variables considered in the Ranking, discriminating changes in those with less significance.
