Abstract
⺠We use a factor model to define four governance measures at the country level. ⺠We estimate the factor model using 40 expert opinion variables. ⺠We assess each factor's impact on per capita income using IV regressions. ⺠We control for the effects of geography (malaria risk) and trade. ⺠Two factors - market infrastructure and civil liberties - cause income to rise.
