Table drawn from Appendix of paper: Corruption, Governance and Security: Challenges for the Rich Countries and the World- by Daniel Kaufmann (September, 2004) Chapter in the Global Competitiveness Report 2004/2005 - www.worldbank.org/wbi/governance/pubs/gcr2004.html
Note: For all indices, a higher value implies a higher ethical standard rating given by the country's enterprise sector. The percentage value reflects the share of the country's
enterprises providing a satisfactory rating. Given the margin of error in this type of index, it is not warranted to perform seemingly precise comparisons across individual countries
having ratings that do not differ vastly from each other; thus, it is also not appropriate to utilize these indices for precise country ratings.
CICC (Corporate Illegal Corruption Component): Percentage firms in the country giving satisfactory ratings (answers 5, 6 or 7) to questions on corporate ethics, illegal political
funding, state capture cost, average of frequency of bribery in procurement and active capture, corruption in banking (average of formal money laundering and bribery for loans),
and percentage firms reporting 0 percent procurement and administrative bribe shares. CLCC (Corporate Legal Corruption Component): Percentage firms in the country with
satisfactory ratings (answers 5, 6 or 7) to the questions on influencing legal political funding and undue political influence. CEI (Corporate Ethics Index): Percentage firms in the
country giving satisfactory rating (answers 5, 6 or 7) to questions on index calculated as the average of the percentage of firms’ Corporate Illegal Corruption Component and the
Corporate Legal Corruption Component. PSEI (Public Sector Ethics Index): Percentage firms in the country giving satisfactory ratings (answers 5, 6 or 7) to the questions on
honesty of politicians, government favoritism in procurement, diversion of public funds, trust in postal office and average bribe frequencies for permits, utilities and taxes.
JLEI (Judicial/Legal Effectiveness Index): Percentage firms in the country giving satisfactory ratings (answers 5, 6 or 7) to questions on judicial independence, judicial bribery,
quality of legal framework, property protection, parliament and police effectiveness. CGI (Corporate Governance Index): Percentage firms in the country giving satisfactory ratings
(answers 5, 6 or 7) to questions on protection of minority shareholders, quality of training, willingness to delegate authority, nepotism and corporate governance.
