    Cybersecurity Dataset: Are We Ready in Latin America and the Caribbean? (2016) This dataset supports the 2016 Cybersecurity Report, Are We Ready in Latin America and the Caribbean?, produced by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Organization of American States (OAS), and Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC) at Oxford. Data were collected via an online survey using the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (CMM), developed by the GCSCC. The survey was translated into English and Spanish. Following a pilot phase, it was administered to a diverse group of national stakeholders across 32 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The responses were aggregated, reviewed, cleaned, and supplemented with additional information from external sources to ensure completeness and accuracy.

    This dataset compiles standardized and up-to-date agricultural productivity and input-use statistics across countries, covering annual data on agricultural output, input indices, and factor shares. Most of the indices originate from the USDA International Agricultural Productivity (IAP) dataset provided by the Economic Research Service (ERS), while others—such as the Hicks-Moorsteen, Fare-Primont, and Lowe TFP indices—are computed by us using underlying data from the same USDA source. The dataset includes multiple Total Factor Productivity (TFP) indices as well as disaggregated input indices for labor, land, capital, materials, machinery, livestock, fertilizers, and feed, many of which are indexed to a 2015 baseline. It also includes data on the value and quantity of agricultural resources such as land, labor, machinery, livestock, fertilizers, feed, cropland, pasture, and irrigated area, expressed in standardized units (e.g., 1,000 hectares, 1,000 metric horsepower, Mcal of...

    Medium Term Fiscal Frameworks (MTFs) have become one of the most popular reforms to the budgetary process in Latin America during the last decade, and introducing MTFs seemed to be the magic solution for most fiscal ailments. Nonetheless, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of their impact. This document discusses the normative merits of using MTFs, provides a characterization of the different types of MTF, and describes their development in the Latin American region based on extensive field work. As a first approximation for understanding how they are working, this document explores in detail the cases of Argentina, Colombia and Peru. While an unambiguous diagnosis is not possible, this document lays the groundwork for progress toward comprehensive impact evaluations and, eventually, to the consolidation of MTFs in the region.

    LAC is the most water-rich region in the world by most metrics; however, water resource distribution throughout the region does not correspond demand. To understand water risk throughout the region, this dataset provides population and land area estimates for factors related to water risk, allowing users to explore vulnerability throughout the region to multiple dimensions of water risk. This dataset contains estimates of populations living in areas of water stress and risk in 27 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) at the municipal level. The dataset contains categories of 18 factors related to water risk and 39 indices of water risk and population estimates within each with aggregations possible at the basin, state, country, and regional level. The population data used to generate this dataset were obtained from the WorldPop project 2020 UN-adjusted population projections, while estimates of water stress and risk come from WRI’s Aqueduct 3.0 Water Risk Framework....
