Rule of/by Law

Abstract

One can go the World Justice Project (WJP) to find a valuable set of data on roughly 130 states, constructed from experts’ ranking. A large number of country and international experts have given scores between 0 and 1 of state performance on a set of aspects or manifest variables much discussed. The WJP measures 8 or 9 state properties, which will be reduced to two latent variables here.
