Method evidence record

Worldwide Governance Indicators

The Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) are a long-running World Bank project that measures the quality of governance across more than two hundred countries on six dimensions: voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption. Developed by Daniel Kaufmann, Aart Kraay and Massimo Mastruzzi from 1999, the WGI combine hundreds of underlying variables from dozens of survey and expert sources using a statistical unobserved-components model. The result is a set of comparable scores, each accompanied by an explicit margin of error, published on the World Bank's governance portal.
