Digital State Capacity.
First we create a new objective indicator of the ICT capabilities of states at a global, sub-national level which we call 'Digital State Capacity' between 2000 and 2024. Specifically we measure the number of computers and internet connected devices governments are able to sustain at the organisational level for over 190 countries worldwide. We study the importance of government ICT capacity for explaining within country variation of government quality.

Editing The Truth
We create a novel dataset of Government edits to Wikipedia made by individual government organisations in over 170 countries and explore patterns in government edits. We provide initial evidence showing that high quality government edits are most strongly related to impartial administrations with high quality digital services. Impartial governments with better online services and information provision tend to make contributions that are well written and meet the professional and impartial standards of Wikipedia.
