Seventy-four (74) projects are listed, each of which establish, or heavily rely on, a particular index of governance across nine categories.
Column 1 lists the author(s) of each project, either by name or organization, as presented on the title page.
Column 2 lists the titles for each indicator project, article, or dataset.
Columns 3-11 represent the nine categories of interest:
DM = democracy
EL = elections
PF = press freedom
HR = human rights
SF = state fragility
CP = corruption
RL = rule of law
DS =delivery of services
BL = business and labor climate
EF = economic freedom
Column 12 lists the years for which the data was calculated. In almost every case, the report was published during the year of the most recent date.
- For example, if the report calculates data from 1976-2006, it was most likely published in 2006.
Column 13 provides the number of countries, territories, and/or ethnic groups that are represented in the dataset.
Column 14 includes links to the datasets, articles, and/or websites of each project.
