We propose a new method to design a short survey measure of a complex concept such as women’s agency. The approach combines mixed-methods data collection and machine learning. We select the best survey questions based on how strongly correlated they are with a “gold standard” measure of...

We perform a Meta-Regression Analysis (MRA) of the literature on government size and corruption, examining 450 empirical estimates retrieved from 44 primary papers published from 1998 to 2022. We find considerable heterogeneity in the results, mainly depending on whether the paper is published...
