JRC Statistical Audit of the 2020 Commitment to Reducing Inequality index
The 2020 Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index (CRII) is a multidimensional index which ranks 159 countries for their policy performance across three pillars covering public services, progressive taxation and labour rights.
The statistical audit presented herein was performed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and aims to contribute to ensuring the transparency of the index methodology and the reliability of the results. The report touches upon data quality issues, the conceptual and statistical coherence of the framework and the impact of modelling assumptions on the results. The analysis suggests that meaningful inferences can be drawn from the index. The CRII is reliable and with a statistically coherent framework. CRII ranks are shown to be representative of a plurality of scenarios and robust to changes in the aggregation method and pillar weights. Nonetheless the good statistical properties of the CRI index, some suggestions are made for possible refinements.
