Export Diversification and Governance Shocks in CEMAC Countries, 2000-2023

A panel dataset supports research on governance and resilience in the CEMAC region from 2000 to 2023. It covers six CEMAC countries and includes variables such as export concentration HHI, lagged HHI, private gross fixed capital formation, government effectiveness, and a composite institutional variable. The dataset was authored by julio Ganga and last updated on May 17, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of governance effectiveness on export concentration based on the government efficiency variable.
• Analyzing the relationship between armed conflict and economic diversification based on the composite institutional variable.
• Studying the lagged effects of export concentration shocks using the lagged HHI variable.
• Investigating the role of private investment in export resilience based on the private gross fixed capital formation data.

Strengths

• Covers a 24-year time span from 2000 to 2023.
• Includes data for six CEMAC member countries.
• Variables are clearly named in the supporting text file.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 17.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
