What does this dataset measure?It compiles proxies for the quality of public policies that affect national productivity, together with proxies for the articulation and characteristics of interest groups. What is the reference year?The indicators in this dataset refer to 2010, as indicated in the title. How does it relate to other datasets?It complements another dataset by the authors and Berkman et al. (2008) focused on the features of public policies, adding proxies for policy quality and interest-group characteristics. Is the geographic coverage limited to Latin America?No. The dataset is international in scope, assembling proxies across a broad set of countries so that Latin American and Caribbean economies can be analyzed within a global comparative frame. What file formats are available?The data are provided in Stata (.dta) and CSV, accompanied by a CSV data dictionary that documents the variables. Where do the indicators come from?They are compiled from publicly available data sources and organized into a consistent structure; consult the data dictionary for the definitions and sources of individual variables. Who is this dataset useful for?It is useful for economists, political scientists, public-policy researchers, and graduate students studying the political economy of productivity and the policymaking process.
