The world Business Environment Survey provides a unique look at the impact of the investment climate on enterprise performance. This book presents enterprise data from more than 10,000 firms in 80 countries that was carried out between late 1998 and mid 2000. In addition to the general findings, detailed explanations and the core questionnaire are provided in this paper, as well as a presentation of key findings across regions and firm size. The findings suggest that country conditions with regard to taxes and regulations, financing, governance and other business constraints matter significantly in explaining a firm's performance and behavior. Listening to firms contributes significantly to assessing the climate for business, investment, and governance in a country and warrants institutionalization of periodic worldwide enterprise survey efforts.
