# **Abstract**

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.

# **1.  Introduction**

This paper presents the latest update of the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) research project.<sup>1</sup> The indicators measure six dimensions of governance: Voice and Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption. They cover 212 countries and territories for 1996, 1998, 2000, and annually for 2002-2008.<sup>2</sup> The indicators are based on several hundred individual variables measuring perceptions of governance, drawn from 35 separate data sources constructed by 33 different organizations from around the world. We assign these individual measures to categories capturing the six dimensions of governance, and use an unobserved components model to construct six aggregate governance indicators in each period.

We complement our estimates of governance for each country with margins of error that indicate the unavoidable uncertainty associated with measuring governance across countries. These margins of error have declined over time with the addition of new data sources to our aggregate indicators, and are substantially smaller than for any of the individual sources. We urge users of the governance indicators to take these margins of error into account when making comparisons of governance across countries, and within countries over time. A useful rule of thumb is that when confidence intervals for governance based on our reported margins of error overlap when comparing two countries, or a single country over time, the data do not reveal statistically (or likely practically) significant differences in governance.

The margins of error we report are not unique to the WGI, nor are they unique to perceptions-based measures of governance on which we rely. Measurement error is pervasive among all indicators of governance and institutional quality, including individual indicators as well as ‘objective’ or fact-based ones -- if these are available at

> 1 This paper is the eighth in a series of estimates of governance across countries. Documentation of previous rounds can be found in Kaufmann, Kraay, and Zoido-Lobatón (1999a,b,2002), and Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2004, 2005, 2006a, 2006b, 2007b, and 2008).  For broader survey review on governance indicators see Kaufmann and Kraay (2008).

> 2 A few of the entities covered by our indicators are not fully independent states (e.g. Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, West Bank/Gaza, Martinique, French Guyana and others). A handful of very small independent principalities (e.g. Monaco, San Marino, Lichtenstein and Andorra) are also included. For stylistic convenience all 212 entities are referred to in this paper as “countries”.

all. Unfortunately, typically little if any effort is devoted to estimating, let alone reporting, the substantial margins of error in any other governance and/or investment climate indicators – objective or subjective, aggregate or individual. A key advantage of the WGI is that we are explicit about the accompanying margins of error, whereas in most other cases they are often left implicit or ignored altogether.<sup>3</sup> Despite these margins of error, the WGI are sufficiently informative that many cross-country comparisons result in statistically (and likely also practically) significant differences in estimated governance. In comparing governance levels across countries, for example, we document that over 64 percent of all cross-country comparisons using the WGI for 2008 result in statistically significant differences at the 90 percent significance level, and nearly 74 percent of comparisons are significant at the less stringent 75 percent significance level. In assessing trends over time, we find that 35 percent of countries experience significant changes (at the 90 percent level) over the decade 1998-2008 in at least one of the six indicators (roughly evenly divided between significant improvements and deteriorations). This highlights the fact that governance can and does change even over relatively short periods of time. This should both provide encouragement to reformers seeking to improve governance, as well as warn against complacency in other cases, as sharp deteriorations in governance are possible as well.

The aggregate indicators that we report constitute a useful way of organizing and summarizing the very large and disparate amount of information on governance embodied in all of our underlying data sources. The specific aggregation procedure we use also allows us to calculate explicit margins of error to capture the inherent uncertainties in measuring governance. At the same time, we recognize that for some purposes the information in the many individual underlying data sources can be of interest to users. For example, several of these provide highly specific and disaggregated information about particular dimensions of governance that could be of interest for monitoring particular reforms. For this reason, we report country scores on the individual indicators underlying our aggregate governance indicators, on the WGI

website at <u>www.govindicators.org. These disaggregated underlying indicators are</u> presented for the entire time period covered by the aggregate indicators, from 1996 to 2008.

As in past years, the WGI are based exclusively on subjective or perceptionsbased data on governance reflecting the views of a diverse range of informed stakeholders, including tens of thousands of household and firm survey respondents, as well as thousands of experts working for the private sector, NGOs, and public sector agencies. We rely on the reports of these stakeholders, which reflect their judgments and perceptions, for three main reasons.

First and most basic, perceptions matter because agents base their actions on their perceptions, impression, and views. If citizens believe that the courts are inefficient or the police are corrupt, they are unlikely to avail themselves of their services. Similarly, enterprises base their investment decisions - and citizens their voting decisions - on their perceived view of the investment climate and the government's performance. Second, in many areas of governance, there are few alternatives to relying on perceptions data. This is most particularly so for the case of corruption, which almost by definition leaves no 'paper trail' that can be captured by purely objective measures. Third, we note that even when objective or fact-based data are available, often such data may capture a _de jure_ notion of laws 'on the books' that differs substantially from the _de facto_ reality that exists 'on the ground'. In fact, in Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2005) we document sharp divergences between _de jure_ and _de facto_ measures of business entry regulation and find that corruption explains a good deal of the extent to which the former are subverted in practice.

And finally, we note, as discussed in more detail in Kaufmann and Kraay (2008), that virtually all measures of governance and the investment climate rely on judgment in some measure, so that the distinction between 'subjective' and 'objective' data is somewhat of a false dichotomy. Rather, a more useful distinction is between efforts to measure formal rules as distinct from their implementation in practice, recognizing that changes in formal rules (often associated with so-called 'actionable' indicators) need not lead to desired changes in outcomes.

4
As we have emphasized with past releases of the WGI, the composite indicators we construct are useful as a first tool for broad cross-country comparisons and for evaluating broad trends over time. However, they are often too blunt a tool to be useful in formulating specific governance reforms in particular country contexts. Such reforms, and evaluation of their progress, need to be informed by much more detailed and country-specific diagnostic data that can identify the relevant constraints on governance in particular country circumstances. We therefore view the WGI as complementary to a large number of other efforts to construct more detailed measures of governance, often just for a single country. Furthermore, due to the complementarity between the composite governance indicators and their disaggregated individual inputs (and the value of reviewing the detail on the latter), we continue our past practice of publishing virtually all of the disaggregated source variables underlying the WGI.

We begin by describing the data used to construct this round of the governance indicators in Section 2, as well as various revisions to the data for previous years. These revisions have resulted in minor changes to our previous estimates for 19962007, and so the entire new dataset described here supersedes previous releases. In Section 3 we briefly describe cross-country differences and changes over time in governance as measured by our aggregate indicators. Section 4 concludes.

# **2.  Methodology and Data Sources for 2008**

In this section we briefly describe the latest update of the WGI. Our methodology for constructing aggregate governance indicators has not changed from past years, and a detailed description can be found in Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2004), as well as in a technical Appendix D to this paper.

We define governance broadly as the traditions and institutions by which authority in a country is exercised. This includes the process by which governments are selected, monitored and replaced; the capacity of the government to effectively formulate and implement sound policies; and the respect of citizens and the state for the institutions that govern economic and social interactions among them. The six dimensions of governance corresponding to this definition that we measure are: 5
1. _Voice and Accountability (VA)_ – capturing perceptions of the extent to which a country's citizens are able to participate in selecting their government, as well as freedom of expression, freedom of association, and a free media.

2. _Political Stability and Absence of Violence (PV)_ – capturing perceptions of the likelihood that the government will be destabilized or overthrown by unconstitutional or violent means, including politically-motivated violence and terrorism.

3. _Government Effectiveness (GE)_ – capturing perceptions of the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and the degree of its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the credibility of the government's commitment to such policies.

4. _Regulatory Quality (RQ)_ – capturing perceptions of the ability of the government to formulate and implement sound policies and regulations that permit and promote private sector development.

5. _Rule of Law (RL)_ – capturing perceptions of the extent to which agents have confidence in and abide by the rules of society, and in particular the quality of contract enforcement, property rights, the police, and the courts, as well as the likelihood of crime and violence.

6. _Control of Corruption (CC)_ – capturing perceptions of the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain, including both petty and grand forms of corruption, as well as "capture" of the state by elites and private interests.

We first organize the many individual sources of data on governance perceptions so that we can assign them to these six broad categories. We then use a statistical methodology known as an unobserved components model to construct aggregate indicators from these individual measures. These aggregate indicators are weighted averages of the underlying data, with weights reflecting the precision of the individual data sources. Crucially our methodology also generates margins of error for the estimates of governance for each country, which need to be taken into account when making comparisons of governance across countries and over time.

6
# **2.1  Underlying Data Sources**

We rely on a large number of individual data sources that provide us with information on the perceptions of governance of a wide range of stakeholders. These data sources consist of surveys of firms and individuals, as well as the assessments of commercial risk rating agencies, non-governmental organizations, and a number of multilateral aid agencies and other public sector organizations. A full list of these sources is presented in Table 1. For the 2008 round of the WGI, we rely on a total of 441 individual variables measuring different dimensions of governance. These are taken from 35 different sources, produced by 33 different organizations. Appendices A and B provide a detailed description of each data source, and document how we have assigned individual questions from these data sources to our six aggregate indicators. Almost all of our data sources are available annually, and we use the data only from the most recent year available from each source in our aggregate indicators. In a few cases, as noted in Appendix A, we use data lagged one or two years if current data are not available. In some cases we use several individual variables from a single data source in our aggregate indicators. When we do so, we first compute a simple average of these variables from a single source, and then treat the average of these individual questions as a single observation from that data source.

The WGI data sources reflect the perceptions of a very diverse group of respondents. Several are surveys of individuals or domestic firms with first-hand knowledge of the governance situation in the country. These include the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report, the Institute for Management Development’s World Competitiveness Yearbook, the World Bank / EBRD’s business environment surveys, the Gallup World Poll, Latinobarometro, Afrobarometro, and the AmericasBarometer. We refer to these as "Surveys" in Table 1. We also capture the perceptions of country analysts at the major multilateral development agencies (the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and the World Bank), reflecting these individuals’ in-depth experience working on the countries they assess. Together with some expert assessments provided by the United States Department of State and the French Ministry of Finance, Industry and Employment, we classify these as "Public Sector Data Providers" in Table 1. We also have a number of data sources provided by various 7
nongovernmental organizations such as Reporters Without Borders, Freedom House, and the Bertelsmann Foundation. Finally, an important category of data sources for us are commercial business information providers, such as the Economist Intelligence Unit, Global Insight, and Political Risk Services. These last two types of data providers typically base their assessments on a global network of correspondents with extensive experience in the countries they are rating.

The data sources in Table 1 are fairly evenly divided among these four categories. Of the 35 data sources, seven are from commercial business information providers and the remaining categories have nine data sources each. However, an important distinction is that the commercial business information providers typically report data for much larger country samples than our other types of sources. An extreme example is the Global Insight Business Conditions and Risk Indicators, which provides information on 203 countries in each of our six aggregate indicators. Primarily for reasons of cost, household and firm surveys typically have much smaller country coverage. Our largest surveys, the Global Competitiveness Report survey and the Gallup World Poll each cover around 130 countries in 2008, and several regional surveys cover necessarily smaller sets of countries. Some of the expert assessments provided by NGOs and public sector organizations have quite substantial country coverage, but others, particularly regionally-focused ones again have much smaller country coverage. The top two panels of Table 2 summarize the distribution of countrylevel data points from all of our underlying sources for each of the six indicators in 2008. The 2008 WGI are based on a total of 12,114 country level data points (after averaging multiple questions from individual sources), of which 42 percent come from commercial business information providers. The remaining data points are fairly evenly distributed between the remaining three types of data providers.

As in the past several years, we report the underlying data from virtually all of the individual data sources that go into our aggregate indicators at <u>www.govindicators.org.</u> The sources we have made available through our website are noted in Table 1. A number of our data sources, such as Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders have always been publicly available through the publications and/or websites of their respective organizations. Several of our other sources provided by commercial risk rating agencies and commercial survey organizations have only been available for a fee.

In the interests of greater transparency, these organizations have kindly agreed to allow us to report their proprietary data in the form in which it enters our governance indicators. As mentioned above, and as documented in detail in Appendix A and B, we in some cases use a simple average of multiple questions from the same source as an ingredient in our governance indicators. We do this when we find more than one question from a single data source that is relevant to one of the dimensions of governance that we measure. On the interactive part of our website we report either the individual question, or the average of individual questions, from each source that enters into our governance indicators. All the individual variables have been rescaled to run from zero to one, with higher values indicating better outcomes.

These individual indicators can be used to make comparisons of countries over time, as all of our underlying sources use reasonably comparable methodologies from one year to the next. They also can be used to compare different countries' scores on each of the individual indicators, recognizing however that these types of comparisons too are subject to margins of error. We caution users however not to compare directly the scores from different sources for a single country, as they are not comparable. To take a specific example, it does not make sense to compare a question rated on a 1-10 scale from a data source covering only developing countries with a similar question rated on the same 1-10 scale, but covering developed countries, as the distribution of true governance is likely different in the two groups. For example, the same score of 7 out of 10 on the two sources might correspond to quite different levels of governance quality. As discussed in detail in Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2004) and also in Appendix D, our aggregation procedure provides a way of placing such different sources in common units that allows for meaningful aggregation across sources.

The only data sources we have not been able to obtain permission to publicize fully are the World Bank's Country Policy and Institutional Assessment, and the corresponding internal assessments produced by the African Development Bank and the Asian Development Bank. We do note however that starting in 2002 the World Bank began publishing limited information on its CPIA assessments on its external website. For the years 2002-2004 the overall CPIA ratings are reported by quintile for countries eligible to borrow from the International Development Association (IDA), the concessional lending window of the World Bank. Starting in 2005, the individual country 9
scores for the IDA resource allocation index, a rating that reflects the CPIA as well as other considerations, is now publicly available for IDA borrowers. The African Development Bank's CPIA ratings are also publicly available by quintile only since 2004, and are fully public since 2005, and the Asian Development Bank's scores have been fully public for its concessional borrowers since 2005.

# **2.2  Revisions to Underlying Data Sources**

We have made a number of revisions to the data sources underlying the current update of the WGI. These revisions affect the data for all past years of the WGI, and so the current release of the data 1996-2008 supersedes previous releases. As we describe below, however, the revisions to the data for 1996-2007 are minor.

Beginning in 2006, we have included the new Index of Democracy produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit. This index ranks 167 countries on 60 dimensions of democracy, grouped into five clusters. Country scores are produced and reviewed by the EIU’s international network of correspondents, and details of the questionnaire and methodology can be found at www. eiu.com. This index was first produced in 2006, and was updated in 2008, with plans for biannual subsequent updates. We average this measure together with several other variables also produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit as a component of our Voice and Accountability measure. Details can be found in Appendix Table A11.

A second data revision applies to two sources produced by Business Environment Risk Intelligence, a commercial business information provider. In the past, we used data from a number of their products with differing country coverage: the Political Risk Index and Operational Risk Index for 50 countries, and the Quantitative Risk Measure for 115 countries. Given the small country coverage of the data we had previously obtained from the former two, we treated the first two as a non-representative source, and the third as a representative source (see Appendix D for details on why this matters for the aggregation procedure that we use). This year we have acquired data from all three sources for 120 countries going back to 1996. We average the together the various variables from all three products and treat it as a single representative source.

10
Three of our data sources have undergone significant revisions in the past year. First, following changes to the OECD development center’s African Economic Outlook publication, we have dropped one variable altogether (“Hardening of the Regime”) and replaced the indicator “Political Troubles” with the new indicator of “Civil Tensions” that the AEO reports going back to 1996. We note that this new variable is highly correlated with their previous “Political Troubles” rating. We use this variable as an ingredient in Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism going back to 1996.

The second applies to the Gray Area Dynamics ratings previously produced by Merchant International Group (MIG), a commercial business information provider. MIG was acquired in 2008 by Cerberus Corporate Intelligence, and the Gray Area Dynamics ratings were completely revised. This has resulted in a new set of 30 indicators starting in 2008. We find these to be a significant improvement over the previous version, with much more detailed definitions of concepts being measured, and more explicit guidance as to the rating scale. Since the new version of Gray Area Dynamics is not available in previous years, and since it differs substantially from the previous version, we treat it as a new data source beginning in 2008. At the same time, we retain the old version of Gray Area Dynamics as we used it before during 2002-2007, continuing to refer to the latter as MIG. The new and old versions of this source are described in Appendix Table A23. Finally, there has been a significant simplification in the questionnaire for the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance surveys (BPS), with the result that several questions asked in previous years were not asked in the latest round of the BPS. In order to ensure over time comparability for this source, we drop these questions from the previous rounds of the BPS as well. These changes are detailed in Appendix Table A5.

We have also made a few further minor revisions to various sources. We have added a few questions available in the Afrobarometer surveys that we had not used in past years to make the source completely consistent over time. At the request of Global Integrity, we have dropped the 2003 round of the Global Integrity Index from our indicators for 2003, 2004, and 2005, as there were changes in Global Integrity’s methodology between the first and subsequent rounds of this exercise, making the first round not fully comparable with subsequent rounds. We have also dropped a question 11
on exchange rate policy from the World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) survey for all years to ensure over time comparability for this source, as it was not asked in 2008. For similar reasons we have dropped a question on the composition of public spending from the Global Competitiveness Report survey (GCS). And finally, at the time of the release of the last round of the WGI, data from the 2007 Cingranelli-Richards Human Rights database (HUM) and the US State Department Trafficking in Persons Report (TPR) were not available, and so we used data from 2006. We have now updated the 2007 data to reflect the available 2007 data, and we use the same data for 2008 as well (as the latest 2008 data was not available at the time of writing).

Readers interested in any further details of these changes in individual indicators can compare Appendix A of this paper with Appendix A of Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2008) describing the 1996-2007 dataset. These minor revisions to the historical data result in only trivial changes in the six aggregate WGI over the period 1996-2007 when compared with last year's data. In all cases over the past 10 years, the correlation between the original and the revised indicators is 0.99 or higher, and in no cases are changes to scores for a single country due to revisions statistically significant at the 90 percent level.

# **2.3  Aggregation Methodology**

We combine the many individual data sources into six aggregate governance indicators, corresponding to the six dimensions of governance described above. The premise underlying this statistical approach should not be too controversial – each of the individual data sources provides an imperfect signal of some deeper underlying notion of governance that is difficult to observe directly. This means that, as users of the individual sources, we face a signal-extraction problem – how do we isolate an informative signal about governance from each individual data source, and how do we optimally combine the many data sources to get the best possible signal of governance in a country based on all the available data? The statistical procedure we use to perform this aggregation, known as the unobserved components model, is described in detail in our past work (see for example Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2004), as well as Appendix D). The main advantage of this approach is that the aggregate indicators are more informative about unobserved governance than any individual data source.

12
Moreover, the methodology allows us to be explicit about the precision – or imprecision – of our estimates of governance in each country. This imprecision is not a consequence of our reliance on subjective or perceptions data on governance – rather imprecision is an issue that should be squarely addressed in all efforts to measure the quality of governance, recognizing the inherent complexity and imprecision associated with such a task.

The aggregation procedure first rescales the individual indicators from each underlying source in order to make them comparable across data sources. It then constructs a weighted average of each of these rescaled data sources to arrive at an aggregate indicator of governance. The weights assigned to each data source are in turn based on the estimates of the precision of each source that are produced by the unobserved components model. In brief, the identifying assumption in the unobserved components model is that any observed correlation between two measures of corruption, for example, is due to their common, but unobserved, signal of corruption. From this assumption it follows that data sources that are more correlated with each other provide more reliable information about corruption, and so receive greater weight. In past work, we have discussed in detail the merits of this approach--see particularly Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2006a, Section 3). We have also documented that, since the underlying data sources on average are quite correlated with each other, the choice of weights used to construct the aggregate indicator does not substantially affect the estimates of governance that we report (Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi 2006a, 2007a).<sup>4</sup> Here we briefly report some summary information on the weights for the 2008 indicators. Table 3 reports the weights assigned to each data source in each of the six governance indicators in 2008.<sup>5</sup> This table reports the weights that would be used in the case of a hypothetical country appearing in all of the available underlying data sources

> 4 It is also worth noting that a far more consequential weighting decision is whether to include a data source or not.  In the WGI we have for the most part opted to include as many data sources as possible, then allowing the data and aggregation procedure to select the weights.  In contrast, household-survey based data sources receive zero weight in the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index (TI-CPI) because the constructors of that measure have chosen to exclude all such data sources.

13
for each indicator. Because of gaps in the country coverage of all of our data sources, no single country appears in all data sources. Nevertheless, the information reported in Table 3 is informative about the _relative_ weights of the underlying indicators. The weights used to construct the aggregate governance indicators for any particular country are approximately equal to the _relative_ weights reported in Table 3 for the subset of indicators in which that country appears.<sup>6</sup> One noteworthy feature in Table 3 is that there are some systematic differences in the weights assigned to different types of sources. These are summarized in the bottom panel of the table. For each of the four types of data sources, we first report the share of each type in the total number of sources for each indicator. For example, for Government Effectiveness, we rely on a total of 18 data sources, of which 5, or 28 percent, are from commercial business information providers. We also report the share of the total weights accounted for by each type of indicator. Taking the same example of Government Effectiveness, these 5 data sources together receive a somewhat higher share of the total weight in the indicator, at 42 percent. The last column reports a simple average of these two figures across all six indicators. These show that data from commercial business information providers and data from non-governmental organizations receive weights that are somewhat higher than their proportion in the total number of data sources (37 versus 31 percent and 22 versus 16 percent respectively). In contrast, survey-based indicators account for 14 percent of the weight on average, but account for 27 percent of sources; and indicators provided by public-sector organizations get almost exactly the same weight on average as their prevalence among the number of sources would suggest (28 versus 26 percent).

We can combine this information with the information on country coverage of data sources reported in Table 2. In particular, in the bottom panel of Table 2 we report the distribution of country-level data points, weighting each point by the weight it receives in the corresponding aggregate indicator for each country. In light of the higher weights assigned to data from commercial business information providers, we find that the weighted average share of country-level data points for this type of source rises from 43 percent (unweighted) to 53 percent (weighted). Correspondingly, the weighted share

14
of household surveys declines somewhat from 18 percent to 8 percent. In contrast, the weighted and unweighted shares of total data points are roughly the same for NGO and public sector data providers.

We conclude this discussion of weighting by noting that while the weighting scheme we use has the attraction in principle of reducing the variance of the overall governance estimates, in practice this effect is relatively small, with the standard errors of the governance estimates declining by about 10 percent relative to an unweighted benchmark. Moreover, if we compare our precision-weighted estimates of governance with an alternative set of aggregate indicators based on simple averages of the underlying indicators, we find that the two estimates of governance are very similar, with correlations of 0.99 on average across all our indicators and periods. This reflects the fact that all of our underlying data sources do, in most cases, provide fairly similar crosscountry ratings of governance. We have also experimented with alternative weighting schemes that equally weight each type of governance indicator (of the four types identified in Table 1). Again we find that the correlations are very high with our benchmark indicators (see Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2007a), Critique 8, for details).

# **3.  Estimates of Governance 1996-2008**

In Appendix C we report the aggregate governance indicators, for all countries, for each of the six indicators, for all ten periods. The aggregate indicators for all periods, as well as virtually all of the underlying indicators, are also available at <u>www.govindicators.org. The units in which governance is measured follow a normal</u> distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one in each period. This implies that virtually all scores lie between -2.5 and 2.5, with higher scores corresponding to better outcomes.<sup>7</sup> This also implies that our aggregate estimates convey no information about trends in global averages of governance, but they are of course informative about changes in individual countries’ relative positions over time.

> 7 These boundaries correspond to the 0.005 and 0.995 percentiles of the standard normal distribution.  For a handful of cases, individual country ratings can exceed these boundaries when scores from individual data sources are particularly high or low.  Note also that small adjustments to this distribution of scores are made for earlier years to correct for compositional effects driven by expansion of the sample of countries covered.  See Appendix D for details.

15
Moreover, as we discuss below, we find little evidence from our individual data sources of any substantial trends in world averages of governance. As a result, relative and absolute changes in countries' governance scores are likely to coincide quite closely.

Table 4 summarizes some of the key features of our governance indicators. In the top panel we show the number of countries included in each of the six indicators and ten periods of WGI measurement since 1996. Depending on the governance component, for 2008 the indicators cover between 208 and 212 countries. Over time, there has been a steady increase in the number of sources included in each of our indicators. This increase in the number of data sources is reflected in an increase in the median number of sources available per country, which, depending on the governance component, ranges from four to six in 1996, and from nine to 13 in 2008. Thanks to the increase in sources, the proportion of countries in our sample for which our governance estimates are based on only one source has also declined considerably, from an average of 14 percent of countries in 1996 to an average of only seven percent in 2008.

An important consequence of this expanding data availability is that the standard errors of the governance indicators have declined substantially, as shown in the final panel of Table 4.<sup>8</sup> In 1996 the average (for all countries and indicators) of the standard error was 0.34. Across the six governance indicators, in 2008 the standard error ranges from 0.17 to 0.25, with an average of 0.21. These substantial declines in standard errors (on average lowering them by over one-third) illustrate the benefits in terms of precision of constructing composite indicators based on an expanding number of data sources incorporating as much information as possible. Of course, since our aggregate indicators combine information from all of these sources, they have greater precision than any individual underlying data source. Looking across all ten time periods, the median standard error of the individual data sources for the governance indicators was substantially higher at 0.59, with an interquartile range from 0.46 to 0.84.<sup>9</sup> In other

> 8 As described in detail in Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2004), the output of our aggregation procedure is a distribution of possible values of governance for a country, conditional on the observed data for that country.  The mean of this conditional distribution is our estimate of governance, and we refer to the standard deviation of this conditional distribution as the “standard error” of the governance estimate.

> 9 In an earlier paper (Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2004)) we showed how to obtain margins of errors for other ‘objective’ measures of governance and found that they were as large, or larger than those of the individual subjective measures on which we rely for the WGI (and thus

16
words, on average the current set of aggregate WGI indicators exhibit standard errors which are less than one-half those of a typical individual indicator. This highlights the benefit of averaging data from many different sources when seeking to measure broad concepts of governance as we do. Moreover, the likelihood of encountering an extreme outlier in a country's aggregate governance score is commensurately lower than in any individual source.

# **3.1  Cross-Country Comparisons of Governance Using the WGI**

We use Figure 1 and Figure 2 to emphasize the importance of taking these standard errors into account when making comparisons of governance across countries and over time. In the two panels of Figure 1, we order countries in ascending order according to their point estimates of governance in 2008 on the horizontal axis, and on the vertical axis we plot the estimate of governance and the associated 90% confidence intervals.<sup>10</sup> These intervals indicate the range in which it is 90 percent likely that the true governance score falls.<sup>11</sup> We do this for two of the six governance indicators, Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism, and Control of Corruption. The size of these confidence intervals varies across countries, as different countries appear in different numbers of sources with different levels of precision. The resulting confidence intervals are substantial relative to the units in which governance is measured. From Figure 1 it should also be evident that many of the small differences in estimates of governance across countries are not likely to be statistically significant at reasonable confidence levels, since the associated 90 percent confidence intervals are likely to overlap. For many applications, instead of merely observing the point estimates, it is often more useful to focus on the _range_ of possible governance values for each country (as summarized in the 90% confidence intervals shown in Figure 1), recognizing that

> obviously (thanks to the aggregation) we also found that the WGI had much lower margins of error than any ‘objective’ measure.  This underscores the fact that all efforts to measure governance involve margins of error, often non-trivial.

> 10 Due to space constraints we cannot label all countries in Figure 1.  Instead we show country names for countries at or near the vintiles of the distribution of the governance indicator. 11 A x% confidence interval for governance can be obtained as the point estimate of governance plus or minus the standard error times the (100-x)/2<sup>th</sup> percentile of the standard normal distribution.  For example, the 90% confidence intervals we report throughout the paper are the point estimate plus or minus 1.64 times the standard error.

17
these likely ranges often overlap for countries that are being compared with each other.<sup>12</sup> This is not to say however that the aggregate indicators cannot be used to make cross-country comparisons. To the contrary, there are a great many pair-wise country comparisons that do point to statistically significant, and likely also practically meaningful, differences across countries. Our 2008 Control of Corruption indicator for example covers 208 countries, so that it is possible to make a total of 21,528 pair-wise comparisons of corruption across countries using this measure. For 64 percent of these comparisons, 90% confidence intervals do not overlap, signaling quite highly statistically significant differences across countries. And if we lower our confidence level to 75 percent, which may be quite adequate for many applications, we find that 74 percent of all pair-wise comparisons are statistically significant. In sum, the likelihood that a comparison between any given pair of countries does exhibit a reasonably significant difference in governance performance is close to three-quarters.

The benefit of improved precision of aggregate indicators with increased data availability over time can also be clearly seen from this calculation. Consider our 1996 Control of Corruption indicator, which was based on a median of only four data sources per country, as opposed to a median of 11 sources in 2007, implying substantially higher margins of error in 1996. Of the 11,781 possible pair-wise comparisons in 1996, only 45 percent are significant at the 90% confidence level, and only 58 percent at the 75 percent confidence interval (versus 64 percent and 74 percent respectively, in 2008).

We also emphasize that the WGI are unusual in that we generate and report these margins of error, which allow an explicit assessment of the significance of observed cross-country and over time differences in estimates of governance. Although rarely explicitly disclosed -- or even acknowledged-- all other measures of governance are subject to margins of error as well, which in our past work we have shown to be at

> 12 Of course, asking whether 90% confidence intervals overlap or not corresponds to a hypothesis test at a significance level that is more stringent than 10%.  The assumptions underlying our statistical model imply that the standard error of the difference between two country scores is the square root of the sum of the squared standard errors of the two sources, which is always smaller than the sum of the two standard errors themselves.  It is more convenient -- and more conservative -- for users to simply inspect confidence intervals and see whether they overlap.

18
least as large as those we calculate for our individual and aggregate indicators.<sup>13</sup> This underscores the need for caution in making cross-country comparisons with any type of governance indicator.

# **3.2  Changes over Time in Governance Using the WGI**

We now turn to the changes over time in our estimates of governance in individual countries. Figure 2 illustrates these changes for two selected governance indicators over the decade 1998-2008, Voice and Accountability and Rule of Law. In both panels, we plot the 1998 score on the horizontal axis, and the 2008 score on the vertical axis. We also plot the 45-degree line, so that countries above this line correspond to improvements in governance, while countries below the line correspond to deteriorations in governance. The first feature of this graph is that most countries are clustered quite close to the 45-degree line, indicating that changes in our estimates of governance in most countries are relatively small over the 11-year period covered by the graph. A similar pattern emerges for the other four dimensions of governance (not shown in Figure 2), and, not surprisingly, the correlation between current and lagged estimates of governance is even higher when we consider shorter time periods than the decade shown here.

Nevertheless, a substantial number of countries do show significant changes in governance. Over this period, we find that for each of our six indicators, on average 9 percent of countries experience changes that are significant at the 90 percent confidence level. Looking across all six indicators, 35 percent of countries experience a significant change in at least one of the six dimensions of governance over this period, roughly equally divided between improvements and deteriorations. We also note that the 90 percent confidence level is quite high, and for some purposes a lower confidence level, say 75 percent, would be appropriate for identifying changes in governance that are likely to be practically important. Not surprisingly this lower confidence level identifies substantially more cases of significant changes: 21 percent of countries experience a significant change on each indicator on average, and 59 percent of countries experience a significant change on at least one dimension of governance.

> 13 See Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2004).

19
In Figure 2 we have labeled those countries for which the change in estimated governance over the 1998-2008 period is sufficiently large that the 90% confidence intervals for governance in the two periods do not overlap.<sup>14</sup> Examples of such substantial changes in governance estimates between 1998 and 2008 include significant improvements in Voice and Accountability in countries such as Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Peru, but also declines in that component in countries such as Belarus, Zimbabwe and Venezuela. In Rule of Law we see improvements in countries such as Georgia, Liberia, Rwanda, and Estonia, contrasting with declines in countries such as Cote D’Ivoire, Ecuador, Bolivia and Zimbabwe. Other examples of improvements in estimates of governance not shown in Figure 2 include Rwanda, Algeria, Angola and Serbia in Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism, Afghanistan, Colombia and Ethiopia in Government Effectiveness; Georgia, Libya and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Regulatory Quality; and Tanzania, Liberia and Serbia in Control of Corruption.

In Table 5 we provide more detail on all of the statistically significant (at the 90 percent level) changes in our six governance indicators over the period 1998-2008. The first three columns report the level of governance in the two periods, and the change. The next three columns report on how the underlying data sources move for each case. In the column labeled “Agree” we report the number of sources available in both periods which move in the same direction as the aggregate indicator. The columns labeled “No Change” and “Disagree” report the number of sources on which that country’s score does not change or moves in the opposite direction to the aggregate indicator. For each country we also summarize the extent to which changes in the individual sources agree with the direction of change in the aggregate indicator by calculating the “Agreement Ratio”, or “Agree” / (“Agree” + “Disagree”). The agreement ratio is quite high for countries with large changes in governance. Averaging across all countries and indicators, we find an average agreement ratio of 0.90 for the period 1998-2008, as reported in Table 5. This provides confidence that for countries with statistically

> 14 While this is not a formal test of the statistical significance of changes over time in governance, it is a very simple and transparent rule of thumb for identifying changes in governance that are likely to be significant.  In Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2005, 2006) we have shown in more detail how to assess the statistical significance of changes in governance, and that this simple rule of thumb turns out to be a fairly good approximation.

20
significant changes in our aggregate governance estimates, these changes are reflected in a strong majority of the individual underlying data sources.

The last three columns of Table 5 address directly the issue of adding sources over time. Averaging over all the significant changes, we find that for a typical change, between three and four new data sources were added between 1998 and 2008. One might reasonably wonder about the extent to which changes in the aggregate indicators are driven by the addition of sources whose ratings differed from those for 2008 provided by sources also available in 1998. It turns out however that this effect is small in most cases. To see this, in the second-last column, we have calculated the change that we would have seen in the aggregate indicators had we used only those same data sources available in both 1998 and 2008 for the indicated country. We refer to this as the "balanced" change. The final column reports the ratio of this balanced change to the actual change reported in the third column of Table 5. If this ratio is less than one, the actual change exceeds (in absolute value) the balanced change, indicating that the addition of sources magnified the change relative to what would have been observed using only the balanced set of sources. And if this ratio is greater than one, the addition of new sources offsets the change observed among the balanced sources.<sup>15</sup> It turns out that these compositional effects are not large. For 103 of the 126 significant changes reported in Table 5, the ratio of the balanced change to the actual change is between 0.75 and 1.25, i.e. the balanced change is within 25 percent of the actual change. Another way to see the relative unimportance of compositional effects is to calculate the correlation between the balanced and unbalanced changes. Pooling all six indicators, this correlation is equal to 0.99.

Finally, it is worth noting that the agreement ratios for significant changes in governance are substantially higher than the agreement ratios for all changes in governance. This can be seen in Table 6 which computes the same agreement ratio, but for all countries over the period 1998-2008. The agreement ratio averages 69 percent, compared with 90 percent for large changes, suggesting that for the more

21
typical smaller changes in our governance estimates, there is relatively more disagreement across individual sources about the direction of the change than there is for large changes. Nevertheless, even for these smaller changes, typically the majority of underlying individual sources agree about the direction of the change. These examples underscore the importance of carefully examining the factors underlying changes in the aggregate governance indicators in particular countries. In order to facilitate this, on the WGI website users can retrieve the data from the individual indicators underlying our aggregate indicators and use this to examine trends in the underlying data as well as changes over time in the composition of data sources on which the estimates are based.

# **3.3  Trends in Global Averages of Governance**

We conclude by reviewing the available evidence on trends in global averages of governance. As we have already noted, the aggregate WGI measures are not informative about trends in global averages because we assume that world averages of governance are zero in each period, as a convenient choice of units. While the aggregate indicators are of course informative about the relative performance of individual (or groups of) countries over time, in order to assess trends in global averages of governance we need to return to our underlying individual data sources.

In Table 7 we summarize trends in world averages in a number of our individual data sources. Most of the sources in this table are polls of experts, with data extending over the period 1998-2008. Only one of them, GCS, is a survey with sufficiently standard format to enable comparisons of global averages for a large set of countries over a reasonable period of time, in this case from 2003 to 2008 (prior to 2003 country coverage for GCS was substantially lower). The first column reports the number of countries covered by the source in each of the periods shown, and the next three columns present the average across all countries of each of the sources for 1998, 2003, and 2008. The underlying data have been rescaled to run from zero to one, and for each source and governance component, we report the score on the same question or average of questions that we use in the aggregate indicator. The next three columns report the standard deviation across countries for each source. The remaining columns 22
report the t-statistics associated with the test of the null hypothesis that the change in the global averages of the indicators is zero over the indicated sub-periods.

Over the period 1998-2003 the data show little evidence of substantial trends in world averages of governance. Looking across all six indicators, there are five cases where world averages of sources decline significantly, and 10 cases where the world averages increase significantly (at the 90 percent confidence level). However, a closer look at the table reveals that half of these significant improvements are concentrated in just one source, DRI, whose global averages on the five indicators in which it appears fluctuate substantially. Apart from this one source, all remaining significant changes are split evenly between increases and decreases. We note also that the magnitude of the changes is in most cases quite small. Averaging across all indicators and sources, the mean change in the world average is just 0.02 (on a scale from 0 to 1). And if we disregard the one source DRI that shows very large fluctuations in its global averages, the mean change in the world average is just 0.01.

A similar picture of mostly small changes in world averages persists when we consider separately the sub-periods 1998-2003 and 2003-2008. During the first subperiod, we find seven significant declines and three significant improvements. Once again however we see that five of the significant changes are concentrated in just one source, DRI. Setting this one source aside we find that significant changes in world averages are roughly evenly split between declines (two) and improvements (three). And once again changes in world averages are small, averaging to just -0.01 (or 0.00 if we disregard DRI). Over the period 2003-2008 there are some glimmerings of evidence of improvements in world averages, with seven significant cases of improvements, but once again five of these are due to just one source, DRI. The improvement in the world average is slightly larger during this period, at 0.03, but is again driven mostly by DRI. Excluding this one source we find that the overall world average improves by just 0.01.

While we do not want to over-interpret the limited information on trends in world averages provided in Table 7, we see it as broadly consistent with the view that there is little evidence of significant (or quantitatively important) changes in world averages of governance over the past decade. At a technical level, this is consistent with our choice of units for the aggregate governance indicators (where the mean is set to zero in each 23
period as a convenient choice of units). And more substantively, this evidence highlights major governance challenges worldwide, where improvements in governance in some countries are largely offset by declines in others, with the result that world averages show little change.

# **4.  Conclusions**

In this paper we have reported on the latest update of the Worldwide Governance Indicators for 2008. The WGI are available biannually since 1996, and annually for 2002-2008. We have also continued our practice of reporting the individual indicators underlying the aggregate WGI. It is our hope that timely annual reporting, as well as providing access to individual indicators, are making the aggregate indicators more useful to users in academic and policymaking circles.

We nevertheless emphasize to all users the limitations of these measures of governance, which are shared by virtually all efforts to measure governance across countries and over time. The aggregate indicators we construct are useful for broad cross-country and over-time comparisons of governance, but all such comparisons should take appropriate account of the margins of error associated with the governance estimates. These margins of error are not unique to our perceptions-based measures but are present -- if not explicitly acknowledged -- in any effort to measure governance. They naturally reflect the inherent difficulty in measuring something as complicated and multifaceted as governance. However, we have shown the feasibility of using the aggregate indicators to make comparisons of governance across countries and over time, subject to appropriate consideration of margins of error. In this paper we also gave a brief account of the evolution of the WGI over the past decade or so, including how the margins of error have declined over time, mostly due to the increasing availability of individual sources. Thus, while margins of error remain non-trivial, it is worth noting that for the current 2008 data we see that 64 percent of all cross-country comparisons result in highly-significant differences (at 90 percent confidence levels), and that about onethird of countries have experienced substantial changes in at least one dimension of governance between 1998 and 2008.

24
We also caution users that the aggregate indicators can in some circumstances be a rather blunt tool for policy advice at the country level. We expect that the provision of the underlying data will help users in identifying -- and acting upon -- more specific aspects of governance that may be problematic in a given country. And we also encourage using these aggregate and individual indicators in conjunction with a wealth of possible more detailed and nuanced sources of country-level data and diagnostics on governance in formulating policy advice.

Note that the MI rating captures information up to two years earlier. For instance, the BTI 2008 MI looked at events from 2005 to 2007. We have mapped them however only to 2007 (and carried forward to 2008). Note also that the corruption variable was drawn from one of the sub-components of resource efficiency.

Global Insight Commercial business information provider headquartered in Boston, United States www.globalinsight.com Global Risk Service Expert Assessment Staff of Global Insight, subject to regional reviews Quarterly since 1996 Global sample of countries Full dataset is commercially available. Averages of sub-indicators are publicly available in this spreadsheet.

The Global Risk Service, formerly known as the Country Risk Review, was introduced by Data Resources, Inc (DRI) in 1996. In 2001 DRI became part of Global Insight, which in 2003 also acquired the World Markets Research Center that produces the World Markets Online ratings (WMO, see Table A31). These two sets of ratings continue to be produced independently and so we continue to treat them as distinct sources as we did prior to 2003. The Global Risk Review provides assessments of the likelihood of various "risk events". We use their assessments of risk events occurring in the next five years. Although nominally these indicators measure the likelihood of future changes in dimensions of governance we find that in practice they are highly correlated with other assessments of the _level_ of governance and we interpret them in this way.

The indicators are complemented with country narratives justifying the scores.   FNT and CCR are series of more detailed narrative country reports including common sets of quantitative indicators on democratic and economic issues, typically scored on a 7-point scale.  These too are based on a checklist of underlying indicators.  We average data from FRW, FRP and FNT and treat it as a single source that we refer to as FRH, as these are produced by the same teams.  We treat CCR as a distinct source as it is produced separately.  Note that the indicators refer to data from the previous year:  we therefore lag the data from this source by one year. Note also that in each year we carry forward CCR scores for those countries that were covered in earlier years (up to two) but not in current year.

Global Integrity Nongovernmental organization located in Washington, United States, advocating integrity and accountability in government. www.globalintegrity.org Global Integrity Index Expert Assessment Local country experts and peer reviewers recruited by Global Integrity Annually since 2006 Mostly developing country sample Yes The Global Integrity Index uses some 300 indicators to assess the existence and effectiveness of anti-corruption mechanisms that promote public integrity. They typically pair an indication of the "in law'" existence of a particular institutions with an "in practice" assessment of its functioning. We use a simple average of the "in practice" components of each of the indicated GII indicators, in keeping with our practice of relying purely on perceptions-based data in the WGI. Note that in 2007 & 2008 we have carried forward scores for those countries that were covered in previous year but not in current year.

It is produced by Professor David Cingranelli at the University of Binghamton, U.S.A. and Professor David Richards at the University of Memphis, U.S.A. and is available at www.humanrightsdata.com.  The Political Terror Scale is a numerical coding on a 5-point scale of state-sponsored domestic political terror through imprisonments, torture, disappearances and violations of the rule of law.  It is produced by Prof. Marc Gibney at the University of North Carolina and is available electronically at: http://www.politicalterrorscale.org/.  Note that the two sources are averaged and treated as a single source in Political Stability and Absence of Violence since they are based on the same underlying publications. Note also that the indicators refer to data from the previous year:  we therefore lag the data from this source by one year.

Averages of sub-indicators are publicly available in this spreadsheet. **Description** The International Country Risk Guide includes a Political Risk Index, which in turn consists of 12 components measuring various dimensions of the political and business environment facing firms operating in a country.  We use data from December reports of each year.

|**Voice and Accountability**|2008|2007|2006|2005|2004|2003|2002|2000|1998|1996|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|_Military in Politics_The military are not elect ed by anyone, so their participation in government,<br>either direct or indirect, reduces accountability and therefore represents a risk. The threat of<br>military intervention might lead as well to an anticipated potentially inefficient change in policy or<br>even in government. It also works as an indication that the government is unable to function<br>effect ively and that the country has an uneasy environment for foreign business.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|_Democratic Accountability._Quantifies how responsive government is to its people, on the basis<br>that the less response there is the more likely is that the government will fall, peacefully or violently.<br>It includes not only if free and fair elections are in place, but also how likely is the government to<br>remain in power or remain popular.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|**Political Stability and Absence of Violence**<br>_Government Stability._Measures the government’s ability to carry out its declared programs, and<br>its ability to stay in office. This will depend on issu es as: the type of governance, the cohesion of<br>the government and governing party or parties, the closeness of the next election, the government<br>command of the legislature, and approval of government policies.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|_Internal Conflict ._Assess political violence and its influence on governance. Highest scores go to<br>countries with no armed opposition, and where the government does not indulge in arbitrary<br>violence, direct or indirect . Lowest ratings go to civil war torn countries. Intermediate ratings are<br>awarded on the basis of the threats to the government and busines.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|_Ext ernal conflict :_The external conflict measure is an assessm ent both of the risk to the incumbent<br>government and to inward investment. It ranges from trade restrict ions and embargoes, whether<br>imposed by a single country, a group of countries, or the international community as a whole,<br>through geopolitical disputes, armed threats, exch anges of fire on borders, border incursions,<br>foreign-supported insurgency, and full-sca le warfare.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|_Ethnic tensions_: This component measures the degree of tension within a country attributable to<br>racial, nationality, or language divisions. Lower ratings are given to countries where racial and<br>nationality tensions are high because opposing groups are intolerant and unwilling to compromise.<br>Higher ratings are given to countries where tensions are minimal, even though such differences<br>may still exist.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|**Government Effectiveness**<br>_Bureaucratic Quality._Measures institutional strength and quality of the civil service, assess how<br>much strength and expertise bureaucrats have and how able they are to manage political<br>alternations without drastic interruptions in government services, or policy changes. Good<br>performers have somewhat autonomous bureaucracies, free from political pressu res, and an<br>est ablished mechanism for recruitment and training.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|**Regulatory Quality**<br>_Investment Profile._Assessm ent of fact ors that affect the risk to operations: contract<br>viability/expropriation, repatriation and payment delays.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|**Rule of Law**|||||||||||
|_Law and Order._The Law sub-component is an asse ssment of the st rength and impartiality of the<br>legal system, while the Order sub-component is an assessm ent of popular observance of the law.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|
|**Control of Corruption**<br>_Corruption._Measures corruption within the political system, which distorts the economic and<br>financial environment, reduces the efficiency of government and business by enabling people to<br>assu me positions of power through patronage rather than ability, and introduces an inherently<br>instability in the political system.|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X|

Averages of sub-indicators are publicly available in this spreadsheet. **Description** WMO produces assessments of the quality and stability of various dimensions of the business environment.  It was acquired by Global Insight in 2003, which also owns and produces the DRI Global Risk Service (see Table A8). These two sets of ratings continue to be produced independently and so we continue to treat them as distinct sources as we did prior to 2003.

**Note:  “Est.” refers to estimate, “S.E.” refers to standard errors, and  “N.” refers to number of sources.  The standard errors have the following interpretation: there is roughly a 70% chance that the level of governance lies within plus or minus one standard error of the point estimate of governance.**

# **Appendix D:  Technical Details on the Construction of the WGI**

This appendix summarizes all of the relevant technical information regarding the construction of the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI). All of the technical details provided here can be found in various papers in the "Governance Matters" series (Kaufmann, Kraay and Zoido-Lobatón (1999a, 1999b and 2002) and Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007). The first section explains the Unobserved Components Model that provides the statistical basis for the WGI. The second section explains in detail two types of rescaling applied to the aggregate WGI.

# **D1.  The Unobserved Components Model (UCM)**

This section deals with the specification and estimation of the unobserved components model on which the WGI are based. The basic premise of the UCM is simple: each of our observed underlying data sources provides a noisy or imperfect signal of the true, but unobserved, level of governance in a country. The UCM provides a framework for extracting a minimum-variance estimate of governance from the observed data.

# _Specification of the UCM_

Let gj denote the unobserved true level of a particular dimension of governance in country j, for example, Control of Corruption. The observed data on corruption consists of a cluster of k=1,...,K indicators, each one providing a numerical rating of some aspect of corruption in each of the j=1,..,Jk countries covered by that indicator. Note that each indicator might cover a different number of countries, hence Jk depends on the indicator k. Note also that each country j might appear in a different set of indicators, and let Kj denote the set of indicator in which country j appears. To conserve on notation we will also let Kj denote the number of indicators available for country j. Finally note that we are suppressing time subscripts here to keep notation simple.

Let yjk denote the score of country j on indicator k. We assume that we can write the observed score as a linear function of unobserved governance, gj, and an error term, εjk, as follows: where αk and βk are unknown parameters which map unobserved governance gj into the observed data yjk. As a choice of units, we assume that g(j) is a normal random variable with mean zero and variance one. We assume that the error term is also normally distributed with mean zero and standard deviation σk which varies across data sources k. We also assume that the error term is uncorrelated across data sources.<sup>16</sup> The parameters of the unobserved components model, αk, βk and σk have very straightforward interpretations. Since the mean of unobserved governance and the error term are by assumption both zero, the parameter αk simply captures the mean of the

> 16 This is a strong assumption, but one that is necessary for identification.  See Kaufmann, Kraay, and Zoido-Lobaton (1999a) and Kaufmann, Kraay, and Mastruzzi (2006) for detailed discussion of the validity of this assumption and the consequences of relaxing it.

observed data from indicator k. The parameter βk captures the slope of the relationship between true but unobserved governance and the observed data in indicator k. Since unobserved governance has a standard deviation of one, βk is the increase in the observed data associated with a one standard deviation improvement in unobserved true governance. Finally, the standard deviation of the error term, σk captures how informative the observed indicator of governance is about true governance. If σk is large (small), the observed data provides a very imprecise (precise) signal of true governance.

# _The Conditional Distribution of Governance_

The assumptions of the UCM detailed above allow us to summarize our knowledge about the unobserved level of governance in each country by calculating the distribution of unobserved governance _conditional on the observed data for each country_ . Let y j = (y 1j,..., y jK j ) denote the observed data for country j from each of the Kj data sources in which it appears. Since we have assumed that unobserved governance gj and the error terms εjk are jointly normally distributed, this implies that the joint distribution of the observed data, yj, and unobserved governance, gj, is also normal. This in turn means that the distribution of governance _conditional on the observed data for each country_ will also be normal. Our estimate of governance for each country will simply be the mean of this conditional distribution, and the precision of this estimate will be the standard deviation of this conditional distribution.

Applying standard results for the multivariate normal distribution, the conditional distribution of gj given the observed data yj is normal, with the following mean and variance: In particular, the mean of governance conditional on the data available for country j, that we use as our estimate of governance, is just a weighted average of the standardized scores from each data source. The weights applied to each data source are inversely words, data sources that provide a more precise signal of governance receive a greater weight in the conditional mean, and hence in our estimate of governance. The variance of the conditional distribution summarizes how reliable or precise is this estimate of governance. This variance is smaller the larger is the number of data sources available for each country, and the more precise are each of those data sources.

We refer to the expression in Equation (2) as the "governance estimate" for each country, and the square root of the variance in Equation (3) as the "standard error" of the 99
estimate of governance for each country. We can also use these expressions to form confidence intervals for governance, that we sometimes also informally refer to as "margins of error". In particular, given our assumptions there is a 90 percent probability that the true level of governance falls in a range of +/- 1.64 x SD(gj|yj) around the estimate of governance.<sup>17</sup>

# _Estimating the Parameters of the UCM_

In order to implement (2) and (3), we need to first estimate the unknown parameters αk, βk and σk for every indicator k. This in turn requires us to distinguish between "representative" and "non-representative" indicators, which we treat differently in the estimation process. Representative indicators are indicators that cover a set of countries in which the distribution of governance is likely to be similar to that in the world as a whole. Practically these include all of our indicators with large cross-country coverage of developed and developing indicators. In contrast non-representative indicators cover either specific regions (for example the BEEPS survey of transition economies or the Latinobarometer survey of Latin American countries), or particular income levels (for example the World Bank CPIA ratings that cover only developing countries). Our classification of "representative" and "non-representative" indicators is given in Table 1 of this paper.

For the set of representative indicators, we use the assumption of normality of gj and εjk to write down the likelihood function of the observed data. The assumption of representativeness is crucial here because it justifies our assumption of a common distribution of governance across these different sources. As useful notation, let 2 2 2 α = (α1<sup>,...,</sup> αK j )<sup>′</sup> , β = (β1<sup>,...,</sup> βK j )<sup>′</sup> , σ = (σ1 ,...,σK j )<sup>′</sup> and let B and Σ be diagonal matrices with β and σ<sup>2</sup> on the diagonal. Using this notation, the mean of yj is α and the variance ' ' of yj is Ω ≡ ββ + BΣB . The contribution to the log-likelihood of country j therefore given by: Summing these over all countries j and then maximizing over the unknown parameters delivers our maximum-likelihood estimates of αk, βk and σk for every representative indicator k. Identification requires that we have a minimum of three representative indicators. Note that the number of data sources available for each country varies, and so the dimension of yj and α is Kjx1, and conformably Ω is KjxKj. This way we are able to compile the likelihood function even though there potentially are missing observations for each country even among the representative indicators.

We cannot apply this method to non-representative indicators. To see why, consider the maximum-likelihood estimate of αk, which unsurprisingly is the mean score across countries on indicator k. It is straightforward to see from Equation (1) that the expected value of the sample mean of scores on indicator k is αk +βk ⋅ ~~g~~ k , where<sup>~~g~~</sup> k denotes the average level of governance in the sample of countries covered by indicator

> k.  For representative indicators, our choice of units for governance normalizes ~~g~~ k = 0 , and so the sample mean delivers a consistent estimate of αk.  However, for a nonrepresentative indicator where the average level of governance is different from the

> world as a whole, ~~g~~ k ≠ 0 and the sample mean does not provide a consistent estimate of αk.

We can nevertheless obtain consistent estimates of the unknown parameters of the non-representative indicators by using the following simple argument. If gj were observable, we could estimate αk, βk and σk for any indicator by regressing the observed scores yjk on gj. Although gj is itself not observable, we do have an estimate of gj based on the representative indicators. In particular, let g*j denote this preliminary estimate of gj based on only on the data from the representative indicators. We can decompose this conditional mean into observed governance plus its deviation from the mean, i.e. g*j=gj+uj. Since uj is independent of gj, we can view g*j as measuring gj with classical measurement error. It is well-known that OLS estimates of βk from a regression of yjk on g*j will produce downward-biased estimates due to the usual attenuation bias. In

> particular, the probability limit of the OLS slope coefficient is βk ⋅ 1− V[u*j ]  .  Since <sup></sup>  V[g j ] <sup></sup> 

the variance of uj is simply the variance of the conditional mean of gj given in Equation (3), and since V[g*j] is observable, we can correct the OLS coefficients for this attenuation bias to arrive at consistent estimates of the parameters of the nonrepresentative indicators.

Finally, we collect all of the parameter estimates from the representative and non-representative surveys, and insert them into the expressions in Equations (2) and (3) to arrive at estimates of governance and standard errors for each country. As discussed in the next section, there are two further rescaling steps before we arrive at the final estimates that we report.

# **D2.  Rescaling the Aggregate Governance Indicators**

We next perform two rescalings of the aggregate indicators obtained using the procedure described above. We first rescale the data to set the mean of the governance estimates to zero, and their standard deviation to one. The estimates of governance obtained from the UCM theoretically have a mean of zero, and a standard deviation slighly less than one. In any particular sample, however, the mean could be different. To avoid confusion in interpreting the data, we begin by setting the mean of the governance estimates for each indicator and year to zero, and the standard deviation to one. In particular, for each indicator and year, we subtract the sample mean (across countries) from each country, and divide by the sample standard deviation (across countries). We then also divide the standard errors of the governance estimates for each country by the sample standard deviation of the governance estimates.

This first rescaling is just a renormalization of the scores, and of course has no impact on countries' relative positions on the governance indicators. It is also consistent with our choice of units for governance noted above, and notably that it has a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one in each period. If there were trends in global averages of governance over time, this choice of units would not be appropriate.

101
However, as we have documented in Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008) and in this paper, we do not find strong evidence of significant trends in world averages of governance in our underlying indicators. We therefore think this choice of units is appropriate. Moreover, absent any changes in global averages of governance, changes over time in countries' relative positions on the WGI can also be interpreted as changes in their absolute governance scores.

The second rescaling is substantively more interesting, and addresses the fact that the sample of countries covered by our governance indicators has expanded since 1996, and quite considerably for some of our indicators. If the new countries added each year were broadly representative of the worldwide distribution of governance, this too would pose no special difficulties. However, for some of our indicators, we find that countries added in later years score on average somewhat higher than countries that were continuously in the sample. This in turn means that it would be inappropriate to impose a global average governance score of zero in earlier periods for the smaller set of countries for which data is available in the earlier periods, since our earlier estimates did not include the better-than-average performers added later. It also means that some countries in our aggregate indicators in the earlier years would have showed small declines in some dimensions of governance over time that were driven by the addition of better-performing countries in later years.

We address this issue with a second simple re-scaling of the aggregate governance indicators. We take the most recent year of our indicators as a benchmark. In particular, the 2006 indicators cover between 206 and 212 countries, which we can think of as representative of the world as a whole. Consistent with our choice of units for governance, the estimates for 2006 have zero mean and standard deviation of one across countries due to the first standardization noted above. We next consider the countries that were added in 2006 relative to 2005. We then adjust the world-wide average score in 2005 so that it would have a mean of zero _had we included the 2006 scores for those countries added in 2006 relative to 2005_ .<sup>18</sup> We then continue backwards in time in the same way to adjust the data for each previous year back to 1996. In particular, to arrive at the final score reported for each country, we need to subtract the adjusted mean and divide by the adjusted standard deviation. The standard error of the governance estimate also needs to be divided by the indicated adjusted standard deviation.

18 The adjustment factor for the mean is simply − y T ⋅ (NT − NT−1)/ NT−1 where NT is the number of

> countries with data in period T and y T is the average score of the additional countries in period T.  The higher is the average score of the new entrants and/or the more new entrants there are, the more we lower the mean in the previous period.   This ensures that a hypothetical sample consisting of our year T-1 adjusted scores for all countries combined with the year T scores for the countries added in year T relative to T-1 would have a mean of zero and standard deviation of one. We also adjust the standard deviation of the year T scores to ensure that the standard deviation of this hypothetical sample would be one.  We do this by multiplying the scores (and the standard errors) for each country in year T-1 by a factor of

NT / NT−1 − ((NT − NT− )/ NT−1) VT + y 2T  − y 2T−1 , where VT is the variance across countries in our estimates of governance in year T for the new entrants to the sample in period T. The greater is the dispersion in the scores of new entrants, the more we need to reduce the dispersion of scores in the previous years.

102
Four points are worth noting about this adjustment.

- Since we adjust the scores for all countries in a given year and indicator by the same amount, this adjustment also has no effect on the relative positions of countries on that indicator in that year.  It does however make countries' scores more comparable over time, since the adjustment is designed to remove the effect of adding new countries on the scores of countries already in the sample.

- As a consequence of this adjustment, global averages of the adjusted data show moderate trends over-time, mostly improvements as the countries added over time typically have slightly better scores than those countries continuously in the sample.  It is important to remember though that this improvement does not reflect an average improvement for all countries in the world.  Rather it reflects the changing composition of our sample since the new entrants during this period have had above-average performance in this dimension of governance.  As noted above there is no evidence of any significant improvement in the world average for the country sample that has been consistently covered over time.

- This rescaling of the aggregate indicators is perfectly consistent with the unobserved components model that we use to construct the aggregate indicators in each period.  In particular, rescaling the mean and standard deviation of the aggregate indicators in the way that we do is equivalent to imposing slightly different means and standard deviations of governance as a choice of units in each of the periods.  And as we have argued this changing choice of units is an appropriate way to correct for changes in the composition of countries covered by the indicators over time.

- Finally, for some purposes it is useful to look just at countries' percentile ranks rather than their scores on our governance indicators.  Without similar adjustments these percentile ranks too would not be fully comparable over-time as they too would be influenced by new entrants.  Thus, we also perform such adjustment to the percentile ranks, and when we report countries' scores in the form of percentile ranks on our website, we compute the percentile ranks based on a sample consisting of the actual data we have for that indicator and year, combined with imputed data from the nearest year as described above.
