• Conduct cross-country comparative analysis using data aggregated at the national level.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a formal academic study, implying a structured research design.
• The study scope covers 90 countries, providing a broad cross-national perspective.
• Hosted on Harvard Dataverse, a reputable academic data repository.

Limitations

• Specific column names, data formats, and row counts are unavailable, limiting initial assessment.
• The data is a replication package for a specific study, which may limit its generalizability to other research questions.
• Without sample data, the granularity (e.g., annual, panel) and variable definitions are unclear.
