• Testing alternative econometric specifications on the 'tenure' and 'returns' data points

Strengths

• Directly supports a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Comparative Economics
• Authored by researcher Bas Machielsen
• Includes specific variables for longitudinal political analysis

Limitations

• Specific column headers and record counts are not provided in the source metadata
• Geographic and temporal coverage is restricted to the scope of the original 2026 study
