Abstract

With the release of the 2024 World Bank Enterprise Surveys for multiple key nations, including the United States, key data on American Businesses is now accessible as of last year. Making use of this dataset, I plan to determine the impact of government regulations and licensing on firm productivity, specifically making use of SAS and Econometric techniques. Furthermore, I will also juxtapose the results from my findings with other, comparable EU nations that have more extensive regulations than the United States.
