This paper reports on the 2009 update of
the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) research project,
covering 212 countries and territories and measuring six
dimensions of governance between 1996 and 2008: Voice and
Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of
Violence/Terrorism, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory
Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption. These
aggregate indicators are based on hundreds of specific and
disaggregated individual variables measuring various
dimensions of governance, taken from 35 data sources
provided by 33 different organizations. The data reflect the
views on governance of public sector, private sector and NGO
experts, as well as thousands of citizen and firm survey
respondents worldwide. The authors also explicitly report
the margins of error accompanying each country estimate.
These reflect the inherent difficulties in measuring
governance using any kind of data. They find that even after
taking margins of error into account, the WGI permit
meaningful cross-country comparisons as well as monitoring
progress over time. The aggregate indicators, together with
the disaggregated underlying indicators, are available at www.govindicators.org. |
