The Kaufmann, Kraay, and Zoido-Labaton (2002) “government effectiveness” variable is
likewise a clear outcome measure. Starting in 1996, these authors have aggregated a large number
of subjective assessments of institutional quality into broad indices of government effectiveness.
“In Government Effectiveness, we combine perceptions of the quality of public service provision,
the quality of the bureaucracy, the competence of civil servants, the independence of the civil 10
service from political pressures, and the credibility of the government’s commitment to policies
into a single grouping” (p. 8). These are clear ex-post outcomes, highly correlated with the level of
economic development, rather than political constraints per se. Indeed, the country that receives
the highest score in the world is Singapore, a state known both for its one party rule and for this
party’s chosen respect for private property
