The paper is devoted to modeling the links between the institutional and actual level of globalization in the countries of the world. Vector models of error correction, quantile regression, and a stochastic frontier model are considered. As a measure of globalization and its components, the KOF-index of globalization system is used, which allows us to analyze individual globalization processes in the economy, social sphere and politics. According to 2020 data, we determine the dynamic relations between the actual and institutional components of globalization, and the priority of the institutional component for informational and financial globalization is revealed. The example of financial globalization shows the uneven degree of influence of the institutional component on the actual globalization, in particular, its prevailing importance for less globalized countries, indicating the alignment of the degree of internationalization in the global financial system. The degree of effectiveness of the impact of institutional measures, together with the overall level of well-being on the actual financial globalization is analyzed. It is shown that the spread across the countries of the world in the efficiency indicator is almost 70%. Almost 10% of countries have a low efficiency of up to 50%. One third of the countries has average efficiency (50–75%). The share of countries with high efficiency over 75% is about 60%.

“…On the one hand, many (Evans & Tony, 1999) argue that economic integration in trade and investment generates incentives for governments to abuse poor and disenfranchised people, so that repression, exploitation and human rights abuses arise. Economic freedom refers to the internal liberalization of economic rights, such as the "freedom to engage in economic transactions, without government interference but with government support of the institutions necessary for that freedom, including rule of law, sound money, and open markets" (Dreher, Gassebner & Siemers, 2010). Globalization is a multidimensional phenomenon, comprising "numerous complex and interrelated processes that have a dynamism of their own" (U.…”

“…Lagged dependent variables are known to have a great explanatory power to the current level of women's rights(Simmons 2004;Sweeney 2004), probably because the practice is deeply embodied in cultures and societies and therefore changed slowly over time. Most studies on human rights practice also include a one year lagged dependent variable as an explanatory variable in their estimations(Dreher et. al.…”
