THE EUROPEAN QUALITY OF GOVERNMENT INDEX 2021

17 May 2021

1.2 The QoG Data The Quality of Government Data is a collection of different types of datasets that are related to the concept of Quality of Government. [...] 1.3.1 Background and Sample The field work for the full sample began during the month of October 2020 and concluded in the first week of February 2021. [...] The ‘next-birthday’ method, which simply requires the interviewer to ask the person who answers the phone who in their household will have the next birthday, still obtains a reasonably representative sample of the population. [...] Due to standardization these estimates will be slightly different than the ones provided in the time series data for the year 2021, yet the rank order of regions within countries will not be affected by the addition of the German and Belgian NUTS 2 regions. [...] 1.4.2 Population weight (Pweight) The population weight is included for comparisons across countries and is included to adjust for a country’s proportion in the sample relative to its actual population of the total population of all countries in the survey.
