I initially thought the greener grass reference was in relation to their own link. I wonder what a more objective measure of government corruption would be. I suspect it's not possible. The closest measure I could think of it was something along the lines of governmental efficiency, w which would include corruption, incompetence and dysfunction.
I wonder if someone could put together a Time series data on some benchmarks like the government cost to put up a stop sign.
- slg 1y agoThere are groups that try to quantify this sort of stuff. According to one measure, the US was already behind most of Europe in 2024[1] and I would expect us to drop much further in the next iteration of this list.

- wqaatwt 1y agoThe perception index is flawed in many ways. It effectively entirely ignores high level corruption or institutionalized corruption. It’s a bit like using Big Mac index for estimating PPP.
