Debt Sustainability Panel for 18 Advanced Economies, 1999-2023

Eighteen advanced economies are covered in this quarterly panel dataset from 1999Q1 to 2023Q4, accompanying the paper 'Debt Sustainability as a Recursive Compatibility Problem'. The replication package includes harmonized data, cleaned input series, and R scripts to reproduce all empirical results. Author Jorge Cid Moreno published the dataset via Harvard Dataverse in 2026.

Use Cases

• Reproducing a recursive compatibility framework for debt sustainability based on the described methodology.
• Conducting calibration exercises and robustness checks on fiscal data for advanced economies.
• Performing incremental-information tests to compare recursive compatibility with conventional debt metrics.
• Running hidden-fragility diagnostics and decile-spread analyses on quarterly fiscal series.
• Implementing the Recursive Sustainability Differentiation Dashboard (RSDD) using the supplied scripts.

Strengths

• Explicitly designed for full replication of a peer-reviewed paper (DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.6867442).
• Covers a 25-year time span (1999Q1–2023Q4) for longitudinal analysis.
• Includes both harmonized panel data and the R scripts required to regenerate all results.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some modeling tasks.
