2 Evidence-based Approach, through empirics 1. Data Matters--on Governance & Institutions: data can be gathered, analyzed, and used judiciously 2. Institutions, Governance and Corruption Matters 3. On average stagnation on Governance yet high variance --some countries improve in short term 4. Behavior of the Firm and Investor also Matters 5. Global collective responsibility 6. Governance matters for a country s: growth, competitiveness, investments & financial markets 7. Implications for Political Risk Analysis & Sectoral Policy 2

3 The Power of Data : progress in measurement 1. The Macro /Aggregate Level of Measurement: Worldwide Aggregate Governance Indicators: 200 countries, 6 components, periodic. 2. Mezzo : Cross-Country Surveys of Enterprises 3. Micro : Specialized, in-depth, in-country Governance and Institutional Capacity Diagnostics: Includes surveys of: i) user of public services (citizens); ii) firms, and, iii) public officials On Aggregate/Macro Level first 3

4 Six Dimensions of Governance Measured Governance as the set of traditions and institutions by which authority in a country is exercised -- specifically: The process by which those in authority are selected and replaced [Political Governance]: 1. VOICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY 2. POLITICAL STABILITY & ABSENCE OF VIOLENCE/TERRORISM The capacity of government to formulate & implement policies, and deliver services [Economic Governance]: 3. GOVERNMENT EFFECTIVENESS 4. REGULATORY QUALITY Respect of citizens and state for institutions that govern interactions among them [Institutional Governance]: 5. RULE OF LAW 6. CONTROL OF CORRUPTION 4

5 2006 Worldwide Governance Indicators: Key Features after a decade of Governance Data Widely used by policymakers and researchers to study causes and consequences of good governance biannual data since 1996, now annual data Based on 31 data sources from 25 organizations, capturing views of thousands of informed stakeholders Covering over 213 countries & territories, estimate of 6 dimensions of governance and of margins of error Now also: access to individual data underlying the construction of the aggregate indicators hundreds of individual indicators over past decade very large on-line governance data resources, at 5

6 Sources of Governance Data Cross-Country Surveys of Firms: Global Competitiveness Survey, World Business Environment Survey, World Competitiveness Yearbook, BEEPS Cross-Country Surveys of Individuals: Gallup International Voice of the People, Latinobarometro, Afrobarometer Expert Assessments from Commercial Risk Rating Agencies: DRI, PRS, EIU, World Markets Online, Merchant International Group, IJET Travel Consultancy, PERC Expert Assessments from NGOs, Think Tanks: Reporters Without Borders, Heritage Foundation, Freedom House, Amnesty International, Bertelsmann Foundation, Columbia University, International Research and Exchanges Board Expert Assessments from Governments, Multilaterals: World Bank CPIA, EBRD, AFDB, ADB, State Dept. Human Rights 6 Report, Trafficking in Persons Report

7 Building Aggregate Governance Indicators Benefits from Aggregation Use Unobserved Components Model (UCM) to construct composite governance indicators, and margins of error for each country Estimate of governance: weighted average of individual scores for each country, re-scaled Weights are proportional to precision of underlying data sources, and precision based on extent of consensus among sources Margins of error reflect (a) number of sources in which a country appears, and (b) the 7 precision of those sources

9 Are Countries Stagnating in Governance? The world on average has not improved on governance, though it has on the macro-economic policies, infrastructure, etc: there is a governance gap But large or small variation across countries? New method: for each country, we can identify whether there are significant changes over time It is found that changes can take place in the shortterm: in 6-to-8 years, some deteriorations as well as some significant improvements as well 9

Note that the overall EOS sample covers 120 [CHECK] countries, and in some regions particularly 18in the Middle East, Africa and the FSU, many countries are not surveyed. Thus, regional averages need to be interpreted with caution, since typically countries not surveyed tend to rate lower in governance than those surveyed.

Any firms reporting answers 1 through 3 were considered to be reporting at least high frequency of bribery, while answers 4 through 7 were not.

26 Summary and Implications 1. Governance measurement skepticism challenged 2. Misgovernance as one binding constraint nowadays 3. Beyond corruption: governance more broadly 4. Beyond administrative corruption -- influence peddling and state capture by firms is also key 5. Governance Matters for country growth prospects, for Investments, and for financial markets 6. Misgovernance affects: fragility of financial markets & banks, volatility of equity markets; investor herding behavior (& lower I); bond market spreads 7. Capital Market Development: Disciplining for GG 8. Assessing & Measuring Governance key for Political Risk assessment 9. Good Governance & Transparency at Sectoral Level 10. Global Challenges and Responsibility 26
