Governance Indicators. The updated WGI data will be released publicly on Friday

These aggregate indicators combine the views of a large number of enterprise,
citizen and expert survey respondents in industrial and developing countries. 
They are based on over 30 individual data sources produced by a variety of
survey institutes, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, international
organizations, and private sector firms.

What is Governance?
Governance consists of the traditions and institutions by which authority in a
country is exercised.  This includes the process by which governments are
selected, monitored and replaced; the capacity of the government to effectively
formulate and implement sound policies; and the respect of citizens and the
state for the institutions that govern economic and social interactions among
them.

The WGI are produced by:

 * Daniel Kaufmann, Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) and Brookings
   Institution
 * Aart Kraay, World Bank Development Research Group

Financial support from the Knowledge for Change Program of the World Bank is
gratefully acknowledged.  The Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) are a
research dataset summarizing the views on the quality of governance provided by
a large number of enterprise, citizen and expert survey respondents in
industrial and developing countries.  These data are gathered from a number of
survey institutes, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, international
organizations, and private sector firms.  The WGI do not reflect the official
views of the Natural Resource Governance Institute, the Brookings Institution,
the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent.  The
WGI are not used by the World Bank Group to allocate resources.
