Politics: Understanding & realism Drawing in in the the private private sector sector Integration of of decision makers Better integration within the the Bank Upstream focus on on implementability 8

11 2004: Indonesia s Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) is on Governance -- Harnessing the entire Bank portfolio on Anti-Corruption (A-C) Strategy: Fully Mainstreaming Governance/A-C in the CAS Process--specifics Lending volumes linked to governance/a-c progress Anti-corruption plans for all projects Selecting projects linked to governance challenges (saying No...) Picking winners at the local level decentralized strategy Staffing Resident Governance Leader/Advisor Anti-Corruption Committee; collaboration w/ civil society In-house: Fiduciary team; Investigators & Project advisors 11
12 Indonesia: Anti-Corruption (A-C) Action Plans Bank-funded projects in Indonesia must have an A-C plan, approved by the A-C Committee -- to include: i) Disclosure; ii) Civil society oversight; iii) Complaints mechanism; iv) Anti-collusion; v) Sanctions and remedies; and, vi) Strengthened financial controls Illustration of Some Recent Actions: i) Misprocurement has been declared, funds returned; ii) Funds have been suspended or cancelled; iii) Prosecutions: number of consultants and civil servants being fined and/or jailed Next: Other countries embarking in Governance CAS 12
13 Empirical Approach to Governance 1. Macro : 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 13
14 Governance: A working definition Governance is the process and institutions by which authority in a country is exercised: (1) the process by which governments are selected, held accountable, monitored, and replaced; (2) the capacity of gov t to manage resources and provide services efficiently, and to formulate and implement sound policies and regulations; and, (3) the respect for the institutions that govern economic and social interactions among them 14
15 Operationalizing Governance: Unbundling its Definition into Components that can be measured, analyzed, and worked on Each of the 3 main components of Governance Definition is unbundled into 2 subcomponents: Democratic Voice and (External) Accountability Political Instability, Violence/Crime & Terror Regulatory Burden Government Effectiveness Corruption Rule of Law We measure these six governance components 15
16 Sources of Governance Data Data on governance from 25 different sources constructed by 18 different organizations Data sources include cross-country surveys of firms, commercial risk-rating agencies, think-tanks, government agencies, international organizations, etc.) Over 200 proxies for various dimensions of governance Organize these measures into six clusters corresponding to definition of governance, for four periods: 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002, covering up to 199 countries 16
17 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, Latinobarometro, Afrobarometer Expert Assessments from Commercial Risk Rating Agencies: DRI, PRS, EIU, World Markets Online, Expert Assessments from NGOs, Think Tanks: Reporters Without Borders, Heritage Foundation, Freedom House, Amnesty International Expert Assessments from Governments, Multilaterals: World Bank CPIA, EBRD, State Dept. Human Rights Report 17
18 Building Aggregate Governance Indicators Use Unobserved Components Model (UCM) to construct composite governance indicators and margins of error for each country Estimate of governance: weighted average of observed scores for each country, re-scaled to common units Weights are proportional to precision of underlying data sources Margins of error of the aggregate indicator reflect (a) number of sources in which a country appears, and, (b) the precision of those sources 18

23 Measuring Governance Matters: Disentangling Channels of Causation Between Incomes and Governance Does Good Governance Matter in raising per capita incomes, controlling for other factors and for reverse causality i.e. is there a large governance dividend?: Yes, about 400% Conversely: to what extent do increases in income lead to improvements in governance i.e. is there a virtuous circle?: No, governance is not a luxury which countries automatically attain only when they become wealthier 23
