Government efficiency is one of many fuzzy terms in contemporary political science. Due to its multidimensionality, it is not well-defined and, therefore, hard to identify. The idea of the current research is to create an index of government efficiency using data envelopment analysis. Using a sample of 127 countries for the period of 2009-2011 we then mark out the significant institutional factors that could impact government efficiency. Moreover, this study supports the initial hypothesis about the predominance of political factors in the efficiency increase.

A common situation that state efficiency research has to deal with is total lack of information about actual efficiency parameters: the only data available for analysis is the amount of inputs (in most cases, monetary, corresponding to budget expenditure) and the amount of outputs (in most cases, quantifiable public goods). A non-parametric method such as ...

Strong institutions and good governance are instrumental for success in the global economy. While the quality of national governance has positive effect on a country’s economic performance, it is not a necessary condition. Poor governance can be offset with the country’s comparative advantages; however, such advantages are likely to be geographically concentrated. We argue that ...

Contrariwise, my approach stems from the presumption that the state should be ...

The past decades have witnessed dramatic changes in the world around us. One of the major trends is “proliferation and diversification of actors, forums and their arrangements to address global governance challenges” leading to presumed fragmentation of global governance. However, “contested multilateralism” has a positive dimension, as the emergence of informal multilateral institutions claiming a ...
