1 Quality of Government and Human Well Being: Some Surprises from Big Data Bo Rothstein Head of Program Stefan Dahlberg Dataset Manager The Quality of Government Institute Department of Political Science University of Gothenburg Sweden
2 The Quality of Government (QoG) Institute at University of Gothenburg Started in 2004 (minor grant to build database) Indepentent academic research institute Mainly political scientists (but lots of interdisciplinary interaction) Major funding for research from 2007 and 2009 (about 8 mil. Euro). About 30 researchers and assistants European Research Council - Advanced Resarch Grant + Swedish Science Council, 4 mil. Euro
3 QoG: Aim and Purpose To carry out and promote research about the importance of trustworthy, reliable, competent, non-corrupt, non-discriminatory government institutions = QoG Central focus is not to explain politics or public policy, but what politics and public policy imply for human well-being
4 ANTICORRP Anticorruption policies revisited: Global trends and European Responses to the Challanges of Corruption Large-scale integrative project funded by the European Union Seventh Framework program Started in 2012 and will last for 60 months Involves 21 research groups in 16 EU countries In all about 70 researchers Total budget about 10 mil. Euro Largest EU-funded research project in the social sciences
5 ANTICORRP: Background and goals The central objective of ANTICORRP is to investigate factors that promote or hinder the development of effective anti-corruption policies Interdisciplinary project includes researchers from anthropology, criminology, economics, gender studies, history, law, political science, public policy and public administration While the detrimental effects of corruption on many central aspects of human well-being are by now well-known, knowledge about how corruption can be successfully fought by political means is much less developed The failure of the international anti-corruption regime
6 The QoG-datasets QoG Standard QoG Basic A smaller version of the QoG Standard dataset, only including the most used indicators QoG Social Policy (OECD) Fewer countries, more variables QoG Expert Survey With a focus on bureacratic structures, quality, proffessionalism and functionality QoG EU Regional Survey
7 Pageviews on the QoG website Data Publications Research January, December,

9 QoG Standard Dataset Classification of the variables in the QoG Standard Dataset: WII (What It Is) variables, that is, variables pertaining to the core features of QoG (such as corruption, bureaucratic quality and democracy) HTG (How To Get it) variables, that is, variables posited to promote the development of QoG (such as electoral rules, forms of government, federalism, legal & colonial origin, religion and social fractionalization) WYG (What You Get) variables, that is, variables pertaining to some of the posited consequences of QoG (such as economic and human development, international and domestic peace, environmental sustainability, gender equality, and satisfied, trusting & confident citizens).
10 QoG Standard Dataset QoG Standard Dataset Time-Series ( ) 211 countries country-year observations 746 variables QoG Standard Dataset CS (2009 +/- 3 år) 193 countries 760 variables
11 QoG Social Policy Dataset ( ) Time-series 40 countries 1008 variables Cross Section 194 countries 1071 variabler
12 QoG Social Policy Dataset ( ) Classification of the variables in the QoG Social Policy Dataset: Social policy variables, such as welfare spending and replacement rates in the social security system. Tax system variables, such as tax rates and government income from different types of taxes. Indicators on the structural conditions for social policy, a broad category encompassing things like economic inequality, GDP, unemployment, educational levels, health conditions, trade openness and foreign direct investment. Public opinion data, including attitudes to social policy, taxes and the government in general, but also more general orientations such as left-right placement and interpersonal trust. In this category we have aggregated individual-level public opinion data from five crossnational comparative survey projects. Political indicators, including election results and policy positions of governments and parliaments, as well as political institutions such as forms of government and electoral systems. Quality of Government variables, pertaining to the core areas of QoG (such as corruption, bureaucratic quality, and democracy).
13 QoG Expert Survey Dataset (2008-) 135 countries (107 countries with at least three experts)
14 QoG Expert Survey Dataset (2008-) 135 countries (107 countries with at least three experts) The aim of of the QoG Expert Survey is to measure the structure and functionality of the public administration in different countries. The survey covers a range of topics where we lack quantitative indicators in many countries but which are deemed relevant to the public administration in terms of structure and functionality (such as meritocratic recruitment, internal promotion, career stability, wages, impartiality and efficiency).

16 QoG EU Regional Survey
17 Why study regions instead of countries? The differences between regions inside countries are (sometimes) larger than the differences between countries. E.g. The difference between Bolzano och Campania in Italy is larger than the difference between Danmark and Hungary
18 QoG Data Visualization Tool The QoG Data Visualization is an opportunity for non-tech users to play around with data. Makes it possible to visualize variables on a world map or in a scatterplot that can be used for presentations Basically, everyone that can use a computer can become their own Hans Rosling type but with QoG data With new special funding the QoG Institute have just employed an information officer on a two year contract with the task to bring this to Swedish high schools and directly into the class rooms
19 QoG Big data and the five percieved wisdoms Democratization increases human well-being Democracy aid should be the main purpose in development Democracy will serve as a cure against corruption Democratic right is the source of political legitimacy Democracy promotes peace

34 Political legitimacy? Quality of Government has a very strong and independent effect on all levels of regime support It is Quality of Government and the impartial treatment on the output side of the political system, and not electoral democracy, that creates regime legitimacy (Torbjörn Gjefsen 2012)
35 And the final verdict Overall, the results indicate that factors such as government effectiveness are of greater importance for citizens satisfaction with the way democracy functions, compared to factors like ideological congruence on the input side. Impartial and effective bureaucracies matter more than representational devices Democracy and Bureaucracy: How their Quality Matters for Popular Satisfaction, STEFAN DAHLBERG and SÖREN HOLMBERG, West European Politics 2013
36 What has our big data shown: A short summary An all standard measures of human well-being, QoG measures clearly outperforms measures of democracy This is not a problem that is related only to developing countries or former communist countries An overwhelming part of human misery in today s world is caused by low QoG This should have implications for research policy
