Top 10 Business Friendly Countries Compared (Part 2)

Here's the second part of the comparisons I've decided to do based on the World Bank's list of top 10 business friendly countries.

This time the 2 datasets in comparison are Internet Pentration levels (again!) and Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity which is a measure of the entrepreneurial capacity of a nation.



Once again, have fun trying to determine if there are any cause-effect relation between the 3 factors.

(N.B : Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity figures not available for Hong Kong, hence the break in the line)

I’m still not totally sure about a correlation …

Personally I think the ease of business formation may have been a sort of aid to entrepreneurial activity but that may or may not be true.

You know what they always say: "There are 3 evils - Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics" ;)
