The Worldwide Governance Indicators, 2018 Update

Aggregate Governance Indicators 1996-2017


www.govindicators.org
The Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) project constructs aggregate indicators of six broad dimensions of governance:

Voice and Accountability


Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism
Government Effectiveness
Regulatory Quality
Rule of Law
Control of Corruption

The six aggregate indicators are based on over 30 underlying data sources reporting the perceptions of governance of a large
survey respondents and expert assessments worldwide. Details on the underlying data sources, the aggregation method, an
interpretation of the indicators, can be found in the WGI methodology paper:

Daniel Kaufmann, Aart Kraay and Massimo Mastruzzi (2010). "The Worldwide Governance Indicators : A Summary of Method
and Analytical Issues". World Bank Policy Research Working Paper No. 5430
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1682130

Full interactive access to the aggregate indicators, and the underlying source data, is available at www.govindicators.org.

supersedes data from all previous releases.
