QoG EU Regional Data
type: Dataset
description: The QoG Institute is an independent research institute within the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg. Overall 30 researchers conduct and promote research on the causes, consequences and nature of Good Governance and the Quality of Government - that is, trustworthy, reliable, impartial, uncorrupted and competent government institutions. The main objective of our research is to address the theoretical and empirical problem of how political institutions of high quality can be created and maintained. A second objective is to study the effects of Quality of Government on a number of policy areas, such as health, the environment, social policy, and poverty. The QoG EU Regional Data is a dataset consisting of approximately 450 variables covering three levels of European regions - Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS): NUTS 0 (country), NUTS 1 (major socio-economic regions) and NUTS 2 (basic regions for the application of regional policies). QoG Regional Data has been divided into three datasets and these are available in time-series version (from 1990 to 2015) and the unit of analysis is region-year (e.g. Stockholm-2013). The first combined dataset is referred to as "long" and the list of units for analysis contains regions at all levels of NUTS. The other two are referred to as "wide" and include NUTS 1, NUTS 2 respectively as analysis units and variables represent values for both the current level and the lower levels. Purpose: The primary aim of QoG is to conduct and promote research on corruption. One aim of the QoG Institute is to make publicly available cross-national comparative data on QoG and its correlates. EU QoG Index (EQI) is a measure of corruption at a regional level in the EU. The index is based on 16 variables from the survey.
