The OECD Trust framework recognises the following definitions of drivers of trust in government institutions. These definitions are based on a wide-ranging review of the academic literature, which is consistent in finding specific attributes that matter for trust, both in relation to the “competence” and to the “values” components.

This methodological annex has three key objectives: 1) to describe the sampling frame used to generate the quantitative evidence collected through the OECD-KDI questionnaire; 2) to display the weights used to construct the composite indicators on institutional and political trust; and 3)present the detailed results of the econometric analyses conducted to generate the results of this case study.
