QoG Social Policy Dataset
type: Dataset
description: The QoG Institute is an independent research institute within the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg. Overall 30 researchers conduct and promote research on the causes, consequences and nature of Good Governance and the Quality of Government - that is, trustworthy, reliable, impartial, uncorrupted and competent government institutions. The primary aim of QoG is to conduct and promote research on corruption. One aim of the QoG Institute is to make publicly available cross-national comparative data on QoG and its correlates.The aim of the QoG Social Policy Dataset is to promote cross-national comparative research on social policy output and its correlates, with a special focus on the connection between social policy and Quality of Government (QoG). The main objective of our research is to address the theoretical and empirical problem of how political institutions of high quality can be created and maintained. A second objective is to study the effects of Quality of Government on a number of policy areas, such as health, the environment, social policy, and poverty. The dataset was created as part of a research project titled “Quality of Government and the Conditions for Sustainable Social Policy”. The aim of the dataset is to promote cross-national comparative research on social policy output and its correlates, with a special focus on the connection between social policy and Quality of Government (QoG). The data comes in three versions: one cross-sectional dataset, and two cross-sectional time-series datasets for a selection of countries. The two combined datasets are called “long” (year 1946-2009) and “wide” (year 1970-2005). The data contains six types of variables, each provided under its own heading in the codebook: Social policy variables, Tax system variables, Social Conditions, Public opinion data, Political indicators, Quality of government variables. QoG Social Policy Dataset can be downloaded from the Data Archive of the QoG Inst…
description: QoG-institutet är ett oberoende forskningsinstitut som tillhör Statsvetenskapliga institutionen vid Göteborgs universitet. Sammanlagt är det ungefär 30 forskare som bedriver internationell forskning om orsaker till och konsekvenserna av korruption och samhällsstyrningens kvalitet. QoG:s huvudsakliga syfte är att bedriva och främja forskning om korruption. Ytterligare ett syfte med institutet är att offentliggöra nationellt gränsöverskridande och jämförbara data. Syftet med datamängden QoG Social Policy är att främja jämförande forskning om sociala frågor med särskilt fokus på forskning om sambandet mellan sociala frågor och QoG (d.v.s. samhällsstyrningens kvalitet). Forskningen fokuserar på det teoretiska och empiriska problemet hur politiska institutioner av hög kvalitet kan skapas och upprätthållas, samt studerar effekterna av samhällsstyrningens kvalitet på ett antal olika politikområden, som exempelvis hälsa, miljö, socialpolitik och fattigdom. QoG Social Policy är framtagen som en del av forskningsprojektet ”Quality of Government and the Conditions for Sustainable Social Policy”. Syftet med datamängden är att främja jämförande forskning om sociala frågor och QoG. Datan är sammanställd från ett antal fritt tillgängliga datakällor inklusive opinionsdata på aggregerad nivå. QoG Social Policy finns tillgänglig i tre olika versioner; en tvärsnittsdatamängd (år 2002) och två datamängder som kombinerar tvärsnittsadata och tidsserier för ett urval av länder. De kombinerade dataseten benämns som ”long” respektive ”wide”. Datamängderna innehåller sex olika typer av variabler, kategoriserade under följande rubriker; Social policy variables, Tax system variables, Social Conditions, Public opinion data, Public indicators, Quality of government variables. QoG Social Policy Dataset kan laddas ner från QoG-institutets Dataarkiv på http://qog.pol.gu.se/data/datadownloads/data-archive. Dess variabler ingår i QoG Standard idag. Samanni, Marcus.
