1980–2023 panel data for 101 emerging market and developing economies, compiled by Baris Kablamaci.

The dataset supports replication of an analysis submitted to the Journal of Economic Policy Reform.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between institutional accountability and fiscal discipline based on panel data.
• Modeling the impact of rent-seeking on government finances based on variables from IMF and World Bank sources.

Strengths

• Covers 101 economies over a 44-year period (1980–2023).
• Integrates data from three authoritative sources: IMF GFS, World Bank WDI, and V-Dem.
• Includes replication code to reproduce all tables and results from the associated manuscript.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
