Measuring democracy

Chapter 61 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Public Choice, 2025, pp 425-432 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter summarizes the literature on the measurement of democracy. I proceed in two steps. In the first part, I describe the classical approach for producing a measure of democracy and sketch an alternative approach. The second part provides an overview of existing democracy indices.
