          Using corruption is part of it but a bit restrictive way to measure government "quality". You may use aggregate indicators as the one developed by the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) project from the World Bank. They reports aggregate and individual governance indicators for over 200 countries and territories over the period 1996–, for six dimensions of governance:



          1. Voice and Accountability

          2. Political Stability and Absence of Violence

          3. Government Effectiveness

          4. Regulatory Quality

          5. Rule of Law

          6. Control of Corruption


          What is Governance ?



          According to the WGI project Governance consists of the traditions and institutions by which authority in a country is exercised. This includes the process by which governments are selected, monitored and replaced; the capacity of the government to effectively formulate and implement sound policies; and the respect of citizens and the state for the institutions that govern economic and social interactions among them.
