I'm working in a paper about Brasil's economic growth with Haussman-Rodrik-Velasco methodology and I'm searching for quantitative index about institutional development (e.g. corruption, property rights, criminality, social capital) . Thank for the possible answers!
Check for International Risk Guide data on Institutional Quality. It contains all measures of institutional quality from the respected source.
You can also check the CPI index (Corruption Perception Index), which is published by the Transparency International (TI) since 1995 as an index for corruption, and is available for free.
This index was found correlated between two other proxies for corruption: Black Market activity and overabundance of regulation (see Wilhelm 2002. "International Validation of the Corruption Perceptions Index: Implications for Business Ethics and Entrepreneurship Education"), and is widely used in the literature.
In addition to the ones mentioned, you can check the Freedom House report, where you'll find data on political rights and civil liberties.
For social capital dimension, you can check at the World Values Survey. It includes Brazil from 2014
For institutional quality, economic freedom and flexibility of economic laws, you can kindly check Heritage's Economic Freedom Index, which is available from 1995 till 2015 for a large number of countries.
