Indicators of government effectiveness in European countries: Empirical analysis with the use of panel data

Original language description

Based on a theoretical and empirical approach, the authors strive to evaluate government effectiveness according to the government effectiveness index and the impact of selected (socio-economic) indicators on government effectiveness in European countries in the years 2003–2019. The research examines the position of European countries (EU-27 and the United Kingdom) and focuses on the specification of determinants in transition economies and non-transition economies. The highest government effectiveness in 2003–2019 is observed in Scandinavian countries, whereas the lowest government effectiveness was found in two examples of transition economies, Romania and Bulgaria. Panel data analysis was used for the analysis, specifically the Fixed effects model. The results of the analysis demonstrate the impact of the observed determinants on government effectiveness in transition economies (model 1) and in non-transition economies model 2). The most significant determiners to affect government effectiveness are GDP per capita and government expenditures on public services in both models (despite a different structure in transition and non-transition economies). Other factors that have a major effect on government effectiveness in transition economies are parliamentary seats held by women, the corruption perception index, and the percentage of women in the position of senior administrators. Our findings can be beneficial for public policymakers in the implementation of government measures and as a basis for changes in the leadership of individual governments leading to increased efficiency.
