Replication Data: European Regional Technology, Institutions, and Growth

45.6 MB of replication data for a study analyzing European NUTS-2 regions. The data integrates regional technological capabilities from OECD REGPAT patents, institutional quality from the European Quality of Government Index, and macroeconomic indicators from Eurostat and ARDECO. It was authored by İbrahim Tuğrul Çınar and last updated on May 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling technological entry dynamics in specific IPC classes based on region-technology-period data.
• Analyzing long-term macroeconomic performance using cross-sectional data on 11-year growth rates.
• Estimating short-term economic growth effects with panel data and two-way fixed effects.
• Investigating the relationship between institutional quality metrics and regional economic outcomes.

Strengths

• Data is structured into three specific Stata files for computational efficiency and exact model replication.
• Integrates data from multiple authoritative sources: OECD REGPAT, European Quality of Government Index, Eurostat, and ARDECO.
• Covers European NUTS-2 regions, providing a sub-national geographic scale.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
