Beyond National Averages: Subnational State Capacity in Chile
Beyond National Averages: Subnational State Capacity in Chile

Summary/Abstract: This study challenges national averages by analyzing Chile's state capacity in its three main dimensions at the subnational level: coercion, extraction, and public goods. The first objective is to show the inequality of the subnational state capacity, while the second is to explain the factors of said inequality. Through a multilevel logistic regression analysis, it is determined that there is an economic and indigenous bias in the average probability of having state capacity, revealing the importance of individual characteristics over institutional factors. This study contributes to ongoing research that deepens the subnational state capacity in its various dimensions.
