1 Governance and the City: Global Determinants of Urban Performance and Implications from an International Perspective Daniel Kaufmann, Frannie Léautier & Massimo Mastruzzi The World Bank Institute Background Handout for Presentation at the MPA/DPA Alumni Conference, to be held at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, November 5 th, 2004
2 Serious Context (beyond trivia) Increasing urbanization in the face of globalization Importance of the role of cities and change in the composition of city size City-to-city networks growing: flows of trade, migration, finance and also city-city dialogue Debate: city as a place, or city as an outcome Increased attention on the issue of governance
3 Key Questions we address from worldwide perspective Variation and Interactions: Are there large differences in city-level performance, governance, and globalization, and do the differences matter? Globalization Globalization: Does globalization at city and country level matter for sound governance? Governance: Governance: Does sound governance at the city level affect city performance? Size and Technology: They matter for performance? Empirics: Empirics: Does the data on cities at our disposal permit an exploration of these questions?
4 Hypotheses Hypothesis 1: Governance Matters Hypothesis 2: Globalization Matters Hypothesis 3: Globalization & Governance interact positively Bottom Line: Governance, Globalization and Access to Services: key for City Life Quality Technology and Size also Matter? -- Complex
5 City governance and extent of globalization as potential determinants of city performance High Performance Quality of City Governance Well Governed Local City I Poorly Governed Local City II Well Governed Global City IV Poorly Governed Global City III Low Performance Extent of City Globalization
6 The Data: Indicators Country Level Indicators: we use the we use the Control of Corruption from the Worldwide Aggregate Governance Indicators; income per capita variable from Heston- Summers; for globalization at the country level, we draw from the A.T. Kearney/Foreign Policy City Level Indicators, 1: constructed through internet searches for city population, existence of city website; availability of data on budget and business regulations in such websites, & dummies for whether the city is the country s s capital and/or a port
7 City Level Data, 2: Main Sources KLM database: : integrates existing & newly collected data, covering 412 cities in 134 countries. Specifically: UN Observatory (1998): 4 service access/performance variables, covering about 80 cities in 60 countries; EOS survey database (2003) from WEF: construct city-specific averages for 12 governance indicators and 5 service performance variables, covering 271 cities in 101 countries; Taylor database: : Number of offices of major advertising, accounting and financial firms in each city and we construct a global city variable, for 261 cities in 114 countries. Mercer Database: : City Quality of Life (2002).( Evaluation of quality of life in 215 cities. Based on evaluations of 39 key quality of life determinants, grouped in these categories: Political/Social; Economic; Socio-cultural; Health; Schools; Public services; Recreation; Consumer goods; Housing, & Environment.

9 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
10 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
11 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

23 Testing Hypothesis 1: Governance Matters Approach: Approach: Compare city performance for local and global cities across different indicators of governance City Performance Indicators: access to telephone lines, sewerage network, water system, electricity grid, quality of infrastructure, quality of electricity services, access to cell phones, access to internet Governance Indicators: bribery in utility, state capture, country control of corruption
24 Testing Hypothesis 2: Globalization Matters Approach: Approach: Compare city performance against different levels of city globalization and country globalization Globalization Indicators: global city (Taylor definition), country globalization (Kearney Globalization Index) City Performance Indicators: access to telephone lines, sewerage network, water system, electricity grid, quality of infrastructure, quality of electricity services, access to cell phones, access to internet

38 Some Conclusions Country Vs. City: Good governance and globalization at both country and city level matter Twin Forces: Dynamic pressures of globalization and accountability result in better city performance Voice and Choice: Particular and complex interactions between technology choices, governance, and city performance City Characteristics: Non-linear (U-Shaped) relationship between city size and performance, agglomeration economies City as a Place or as an Outcome: evidence to bridge competing strands in the literature City s s Quality of Life: More More Globalized,, Less Corrupt and Better Access to Services Matter
39 Policy Implications Importance of country-wide governance Levers at city level for reformist leaders: local measures to improve governance, control corruption, and become global city do matter Supporting cities in globalization process (technology, associations) Role of new technologies and public/private interface Potential role of economies of agglomeration: Mega- cities do not necessarily underperform
