This project estimates how much people in different countries trust their courts over time, with trust in the national parliament as a secondary comparison.
Survey data on public trust is plentiful but fragmented: different surveys ask different questions, on different scales, in different languages, in different years. A statistical measurement model harmonises these responses onto a common scale and reports an annual trust estimate for each country alongside the uncertainty behind it.
