 This interactive tool is designed to assist in producing graphs similar to the chart shown to the left on control of corruption in 2005 (also shown as Figure 1 in Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi, 2006), highlighting countries of interest. Charts will be displayed in six separate sheets, illustrating the range of likely values of each governance indicator for the selected countries and compared to all other countries in the world for that indicator.
We provide two options for generating these charts: a) ordering countries in ascending order according to their 2005 estimate for each governance component; and b) ordering countries according to their GDP per capita. The graphs in both options will display all countries for which data is available. In the first option (ordering by governance estimate), the range of statistically-likely values of the governance index for each country (the associated 90% confidence interval) is shown on the vertical axis as a thin vertical line. The bold vertical lines identified with country names show this information for the selected countries. In the second option, vertical lines are shown only for selected countries. Please refer to Kaufmann, Kraay and Mastruzzi (2006) for more details on the statistical interpretation of these graphs. A. Ordered by governance point estimates B. Ordered by GDP per capita 
Note: The updated indicators for 1996–2005, available in September 2006, supersede the previously posted indicators from 1996 to 2004.
The governance indicators presented here reflect the statistical aggregation of responses on the quality of governance given by a large number of enterprise, citizen and expert survey respondents in industrial and developing countries, as compiled by a number of survey institutes, think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations. The aggregate indicators in no way reflect the official position of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. As discussed in detail in the accompanying papers, countries' relative positions on these indicators are subject to margins of error that are clearly indicated and should be taken into account when making comparisons across countries and over time |
