1996–2022 country-year panel of 73 emerging market economies, yielding 1,971 observations. It was assembled by Da, Seyni from public secondary sources to study how liberalizing currency-derivative markets affects inward foreign direct investment. The dataset supports causal analysis of policy liberalization on FDI, conditioned by market depth, political uncertainty, exchange-rate volatility, and monetary regimes.
Use Cases
- Estimate the causal effect of derivative-market liberalization on FDI based on the described treatment indicator and outcome variable.
- Analyze how derivative-market depth moderates FDI's sensitivity to political uncertainty using the described mechanism variables.
- Investigate heterogeneity in the FDI response to liberalization across different monetary regimes based on the categorical classifier.
- Apply staggered difference-in-differences or fixed-effects models to the panel structure described for heterogeneity-robust estimation.
Strengths
- Covers 73 emerging market economies over a 27-year period (1996–2022).
- Contains 1,971 country-year observations described as strongly balanced.
- Assembled from multiple authoritative public sources including IMF, UNCTAD, World Bank, and BIS.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The derivative-depth analysis is limited to a 29-economy subset with 692 observations.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
