Variable: O'Reilly & Murphy Fiscal State Capacity Index

QoG Code: (sci_fisc)


Dataset: O'Reilly & Murphy's State Capacity Index

Description:

O'Reilly & Murphy's Fiscal State Capacity is measured using the first principal component of the five measures: 'particularistic or public goods’, ‘rigorous and impartial public administration’, ‘rule of law’, ‘state authority over territory’ and ‘state fiscal source of revenue’. This variable notes the slight conceptual ambiguity of ‘educational equality’ data included in the Comprehensive State Capacity variable, dropping them and re-running the principal component analysis.

When calculating this variable, loadings derived from the principal component analysis of the most recent V-Dem data (v12) has been used.
