The Ease of Doing Business Index is one of the most important indicators published by the World Bank each year. The index evaluates countries in terms of the procedures in the process of investing andining investments and shows the rankings of countries that can be invested. The index data is obtained from the World Bank’s global and local partners, and the data is likely to include uncertainty and subjectivity. The index has a method based on an arithmetic average in terms of ten criteria and equals the importance of each criterion. Given these characteristics of the index data, the OECD countries are ranked using the six-year data of the Business Facility Index in this study. The method of study is the Stokastic Multi-Critical Admissibility Analysis, a multi-critical decision analysis technique that allows the use of interim data. In terms of the ease of doing business for the countries, there are high probability that they will be ranked in addition to the weight sets that can move the countries up to rank. The study has shown the sensitivity of a comprehensive ranking and ranking of uncertainty, deviations and errors from the process of obtaining data, taking into account by using the data that have been accumulated over the years.

Ease of Doing Business Index is one of the most important World Bank Indexes published every year. The index evaluates and ranks the World countries in terms of procedures for investing and sustaining the investments. The data for the index are gathered from several global and local partners of World Bank and have a high level of potential for uncertainty and subjectivity due to the diversity in resources. The standard methodology of the index is based on arithmetic mean of values in ten different criteria for each country, which takes the weight of importance as equal for all criteria. Considering those properties of the data, in this study, we rank the OECD countries by making use of Ease of Doing Business data for 6 years. We apply Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) method, which is a multiple criteria decision method that enables incorporation of interval data. As well as the ranks with the highest acceptability for countries, the analysis provides the weight vectors that can move the countries to the top ranks. The study provides a comprehensive ranking and sensitivity of ranks using accumulated data on Ease of Doing Business during the years while taking potential uncertainties, deviations and errors in data collection process into account.
