Do you think that corruption, law and order, and bureaucratic quality are caused by governance or that these three are causing governace? It can be useful to consider some examples: For the former think of an IQ test. Whether or not you answer the different questions correctly is (assumed to be) influenced by the latent IQ, so in this case the latent concept influences the observed items not the other way around. For the latter consider something like socioeconomic status, which you can consider as a collection of resources like occupational status, income, education of the different household members, so in this case it is the observed items that influence the latent variable an not the other way around. -- Maarten On Sun, Mar 2, 2014 at 7:12 PM, Muhammad Ramzan <ramzan243@gmail.com> wrote: > Assalam-o-Alaikum > > HI Everyone I want to construct the governance index from three > variables , corruption , Lan and order and Bureautic quality all three > variables values range from (0 to 6). can any one let me know which > methodology is appropriate here . and how to implement that in stata. > > Regards > * > * For searches and help try: > * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search > * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ > * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ -- --------------------------------- Maarten L.
