Ranking of economies Economy Rankings Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business, from 1–190. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. The rankings are determined by sorting the aggregate distance to frontier scores on 10 topics, each consisting of several indicators, giving equal weight to each topic. The rankings for all economies are benchmarked to June 2016. Read the methodology, explaining how the ease of doing business rankings and the distance to frontier measure are calculated (PDF). = Subnational Doing Business data available. file_download print
FedStats Prediction market People who buy low and sell high are rewarded for improving the market prediction, while those who buy high and sell low are punished for degrading the market prediction. Evidence so far suggests that prediction markets are at least as accurate as other institutions predicting the same events with a similar pool of participants.[1] History[edit] Prediction markets have a long and colorful lineage. Betting on elections was common in the U.S. until at least the 1940s, with formal markets existing on Wall Street in the months leading up to the race. Newspapers reported market conditions to give a sense of the closeness of the contest in this period prior to widespread polling. Around 1990 at Project Xanadu, Robin Hanson used the first known corporate prediction market. In July 2003, the U.S. The research literature is collected together in the peer reviewed The Journal of Prediction Markets, edited by Leighton Vaughan Williams and published by the University of Buckingham Press.
International Monetary Fund Home Page ViewsWire Tunisia's and Egypt's authoritarian leaders have been toppled. The question now is whether popular protests and uprisings will sweep through the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and possibly spread to authoritarian regimes in other regions. It is safe to say that vulnerabilities exist in many countries, but assessing whether popular discontent will translate into a serious challenge to a regime is problematic. Any efforts to quantify a given country's vulnerability are by nature imprecise. The recent momentous events have been extraordinary in several respects. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy index 2010, a report published in December, there are 55 authoritarian regimes in the world. Conditions for political revolts What do the recent examples teach us about the necessary ingredients for political revolts? Long-serving geriatric leaders are another common feature. Why now? What of repression? "Revolution watch"
Confidence Intervals In statistical inference, one wishes to estimate population parameters using observed sample data. A confidence interval gives an estimated range of values which is likely to include an unknown population parameter, the estimated range being calculated from a given set of sample data. (Definition taken from Valerie J. The common notation for the parameter in question is . , which is estimated through the The level C of a confidence interval gives the probability that the interval produced by the method employed includes the true value of the parameter Example Suppose a student measuring the boiling temperature of a certain liquid observes the readings (in degrees Celsius) 102.5, 101.7, 103.1, 100.9, 100.5, and 102.2 on 6 different samples of the liquid. In other words, the student wishes to estimate the true mean boiling temperature of the liquid using the results of his measurements. ).

MDG data Herfindahl-Index Der Herfindahl-Index (nach Orris Clemens Herfindahl, 1918–1972) auch: Hirschman-Index oder Herfindahl-Hirschman-Index genannt (Abkürzung: HHI, Zeichen: ), ist die am häufigsten benutzte Kennzahl zur Konzentrationsmessung (zum Beispiel in einem Markt). von Produzenten auf, die das Erzeugnis herstellen. Allerdings verteilt sich der Absatz meist nicht gleichmäßig auf alle Erzeuger. Über das Ausmaß der Konzentration des Absatzes auf einen oder wenige Anbieter gibt nun der Herfindahl-Index Auskunft.

Die Europäische Kommission gibt folgendes vereinfachte Beispiel zum besseren Verständnis:[2] Der HHI misst die Marktkonzentration durch Addieren der quadrierten Marktanteile aller Anbieter in einem Wirtschaftszweig.
