| Summary: | The Worldwide Governance Indicators,
reporting estimates of six dimensions of governance for over
200 countries between 1996 and 2005, have become widely used
among policymakers and academics. They have also attracted
some explicit written criticisms. In this short paper the
authors synthesize 11 critiques offered by four recent
papers. They then refute them as either conceptually
incorrect or empirically unsubstantiated. |
