To provide a clear breakdown of the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), it is important to note that the exact number of sub-indicators (or "underlying variables") fluctuates slightly each year as some surveys are updated and others are discontinued.
On average, each of the six aggregate indicators is composed of between 25 and 40+ individual sub-indicators drawn from 31 different data sources.
The Six WGI Aggregate Indicators and Their Components
| Aggregate Indicator | Approx. Sub-Indicators | Key Underlying Variables (Sub-Indicators) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Voice and Accountability | 30 - 35 | Military in politics, Transparency of trials, Media censorship, Freedom of association, Election fairness, Human rights protection. |
| 2. Political Stability & Absence of Violence | 25 - 30 | Internal/External conflict, Terrorist threats, Violent demonstrations, Ethnic tensions, Government stability, Social unrest. |
| 3. Government Effectiveness | 35 - 40 | Bureaucratic quality, Policy consistency, Infrastructure quality, Public service delivery, Professionalism of civil service, Wasteful spending. |
| 4. Regulatory Quality | 25 - 30 | Ease of starting a business, Price controls, Discriminatory taxes, Unfair competition, Trade barriers, Regulatory burden. |
| 5. Rule of Law | 40 - 45 | Enforceability of contracts, Property rights, Judicial independence, Crime rates, Police reliability, Black market activity. |
| 6. Control of Corruption | 30 - 35 | State capture by elites, Corruption in high office, "Bribe-paying" for services, Anti-corruption laws, Transparency in procurement. |
| Total | 185-215 |
How these "Sub-Indicators" are grouped
The WGI categorizes these hundreds of sub-indicators into four main Source Types:
Representative Surveys: These ask thousands of households or firms about their direct experiences (e.g., "Have you paid a bribe this year?").
Expert Assessments: Ratings from commercial risk agencies (e.g., Economist Intelligence Unit) who judge things like "Political Risk."
NGO Assessments: Evaluations from groups like Freedom House or Reporters Without Borders that track specific liberties.
Public Sector Data: Evaluations from the World Bank or regional development banks regarding institutional quality.
Important Distinction
The "list" of sub-indicators isn't just a static checklist; it's a weighted average. Because some sources are considered more reliable or comprehensive than others, the Unobserved Components Model (UCM) assigns a higher "weight" to certain sub-indicators when calculating the final score for a country.
Would you like me to find the specific score of a particular country (like Bangladesh or the USA) to see which sub-indicators influenced their ranking most?
