The 2008 World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Survey measures entrepreneurial activity in over 100 developing and industrial countries over the period 2000-2007. The database includes cross-country, time-series data on the number of total and newly registered businesses, collected directly from Registrar of Companies around the world. In its third year, this survey incorporates improvements in methodology, and expanded participation from countries covered, allowing for greater cross-border compatibility of data compared with earlier surveys. New information is also collected on business registrations, such as filing requirements, and electronic registration and data storage.
