Technical summary: Public sector performance, prestige and promotion

This technical summary provides a synopsis of quantitative analysis for the present report. The analysis consists entirely of linear multiple regressions applied to cross-country data. The sources of data for the quantitative analysis are surveys of expert opinion from the International Country Risk Guide (between 97 and 140 countries), the State Capacity Survey (between 97 and 129 countries), and a survey first carried out for 35 countries by James E. Rauch and Peter Evans, later extended by the United Nations University to cover an additional 16 African countries. In the quantitative analysis, the data from the surveys conducted by Rauch and Evans and the UNU were consolidated into one dataset. Of the 51 countries, a total of 45 are developing countries. Data from the International Monetary Fund, OECD and the World Bank were also used for this analysis.
