IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook. SWFI Linaburg-Maduell Transparency Index. The Linaburg-Maduell Transparency Index was developed at the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute by Carl Linaburg and Michael Maduell.
The Linaburg-Maduell transparency index is a method of rating transparency in respect to sovereign wealth funds. Pertaining to government-owned investment vehicles, where there have been concerns of unethical agendas, calls have been made to the larger “opaque” or non-transparent funds to show their intentions. This index of rating transparency was developed in 2008 and has since been used worldwide, by sovereign wealth funds in their official annual reports and statements, as the global standard benchmark.
This index is based off ten essential principles that depict sovereign wealth fund transparency to the public. WB Doing Business. 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.

Pearson The Learning Curve. PISA, Programme for International Student Assessment. This years focus is mathematics with an additional test in creative thinking.
The new PISA 2021 mathematics framework was recently launched. Preparations for this test are underway with participants from 36 OECD members and likely 50+ non-members involved. The PISA 2024 innovative domain, Learning in the Digital World, aims to measure students’ ability to engage in self-regulated learning while using digital tools. The tasks measure students’ capacity to monitor their progress, use feedback and stay engaged while they build models and develop solutions with digital tools. These skillsets are essential in preparing students to learn autonomously in an increasingly complex and digital world. Want to join PISA? TIMSS and PIRLS. WorldSkills.

The 2012 International Energy Efficiency Scorecard ranks 12 of the world's largest economies, representing over 78 percent of global gross domestic product, 63 percent of global energy consumption, and 62 percent of the global carbon-dioxide-equivalent emissions.
The rankings include: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union. Over 25 different energy efficiency indicators or "metrics" have been analyzed for each economy ranked in the report. The rankings are determined by a total score out of 100 possible points. Points can be earned in four difference categories including buildings, industry, and transportation, as well as metrics that track cross-cutting aspects of energy use at the national level. The 2014 International Energy Efficiency Scorecard will be released in the summer of 2014 with more countries and more metrics.

These contrasts can stimulate debate about government policy priorities. UNDP Gender Inequality Index, GII. Gender inequality remains a major barrier to human development.
