Creators: Manuel Funke, Moritz Schularick, and Christoph Trebesch
Publication Date: 2023/11/16
Creators: Manuel Funke, Moritz Schularick, and Christoph Trebesch

This dataset provides a newly constructed cross-country panel covering populist leadership and macroeconomic indicators from 1900 to 2020. It was used by Manuel Funke, Moritz Schularick, and Christoph Trebesch in their 2023 American Economic Review study to quantify the long-term economic consequences of populism. The dataset identifies 51 populist leaders globally and matches their terms with GDP, inflation, trade, institutional quality, and more to assess long-run economic divergence.

Creators: Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC)

This dataset integrates longitudinal genetic data with measures of parental investments and child skill development from early childhood. It was used by Mikkel Aagaard Houmark, Victor Ronda, and Michael Rosholm in their 2024 American Economic Review paper to study the dynamic interaction between biological and environmental factors in skill formation. The data enables the estimation of direct, indirect, and family genetic effects across early developmental stages.

Publication Date: 2023/12/11
Creators: Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS)

This dataset comes from a large-scale randomized field experiment in China evaluating how different types of citizen appeals (public vs. private) influence pollution violations and regulatory behavior. It was used by Mark T. Buntaine, Michael Greenstone, Guojun He, Mengdi Liu, Shaoda Wang, and Bing Zhang in their 2024 American Economic Reviewpaper. The dataset includes pollution violation records, treatment assignments, emission levels, and prefecture-level policy variables, enabling both direct and spillover effect estimation.

This dataset contains pollution monitoring data and behavioral indicators related to China’s 2013 air quality disclosure program. It was used by Panle Jia Barwick, Shanjun Li, Liguo Lin, and Eric Yongchen Zou in their 2024 American Economic Review study to evaluate the causal effects of real-time pollution information on public behavior, health outcomes, and economic responses. The data include air quality measures, health statistics, and consumer purchase data for pollution protection goods.

Creators: World Bank

This dataset includes data from a randomized rollout of an urban public works program across neighborhoods in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It was used by Simon Franklin, Clément Imbert, Girum Abebe, and Carolina Mejia-Mantilla in their 2024 American Economic Review paper. The dataset includes information on employment, wages, local amenities, and commuting flows, enabling the estimation of direct program impacts and equilibrium wage spillovers using a spatial model.
