A New Cross-National Time Series Indicator of Bureaucratic Quality

In this paper, a new indicator of bureaucratic quality is developed that has extensive coverage across countries (175) and time (1960-2000), based on data collection from the World Development Indicators and the International Finance Statistics databases. Both anecdotal and econometric evidence suggest this new indicator could prove a useful institutional tool for empirical researchers, particularly with respect to panel data analyses.
