METHODOLOGY
A total of 20,301 individuals from 36 countries in four regions - the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East and Africa - were surveyed. Of the respondents, 11,238 were informed elites and 5,963 were business decision-makers. Some respondents were considered both informed elites and business decisionmakers. Regardless of demographics or participant type, each individual’s responses weighed equally in the results

Choosing countries to rank

We narrowed the world’s nations down to a statistically manageable group by comparing the performance of countries in a number of key business, economic and quality of life indicators. The 80 countries in the 2019 Best Countries rankings had to meet four criteria within the most recent year for which data are available specific to each benchmark to be included in the study:

Top 100 countries in terms of gross domestic product in 2016, based on World Bank data

Top 100 countries in terms of foreign direct investment inflows in 2016, based on World Bank data

Top 100 countries in terms of international tourism receipts in 2016, based on World Bank data

Top 150 countries in the U.N.’s Human Development Index, based on the 2016 report

Those that did not reach all four of these benchmarks and those that did not report these statistics were not included.
