| Summary: | This article presents estimates of six
dimensions of governance for 199 countries and territories
for 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002 developed in the context of
an ongoing project to measure governance across countries.
Section one describes the data used in developing this round
of the governance indicators, which include several new
sources. Data sources used in the earlier studies were
updated forward to 2002 and backward to 1996, and previously
estimated indicators for 1998 and 2000were revised to
reflect the new data. The aggregation procedure, described
in section two, provides not only estimates of governance
for each country but also measures of the precision or
reliability of these estimates. Although the new data have
improved the precision of the governance indicators, the
margins of error remain large relative to the units in which
governance is measured, so that comparisons across countries
and especially over time should be made with caution. |
