The "Regime corruption index" is a V-Dem mid-level index focusing on several types of corruption among those who occupy political offices. It ranges from low (0) to high (1) with lower values indicating less corruption.
Conceptually, the index "includes indicators measuring the extent of executive embezzlement, executive bribery, legislative corruption and judicial corruption" while excluding "measures of public sector corruption since, in many cases, public sector workers may not be directly linked to those elected or appointed to office" (Sigman and Lindberg 2017, 7). Other than the Political corruption index, it "focuses on a more specific set of actors – those who occupy political offices - and a more specific set of corrupt acts that relate more closely to the conceptualization of corruption in literature on neopatrimonial rule" (Coppedge et al. 2021, 292).
Coding rules
The index is composed of several components and lower-level indices applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2021) which in turn are indices built from a number of indicators. The index itself takes "the reversed point estimates (so that higher scores = more regime corruption) from a Bayesian factor analysis model of the indicators for executive executive embezzlement (v2exembez), executive bribes (v2exbribe), legislative corruption (v2xlgcrrpt) and judicial corruption (v2jucorrdc)" (Coppedge et al. 2021, 292) [note that variable names in italics refer to V-Dem's nomenclature in their dataset, not in WeSIS].
