Database of Political Institutions 2015
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2024-02-15T17:19:32.000ZThe Database of Political Institutions presents institutional and electoral results data such as measures of checks and balances, tenure and stability of the government, identification of party affiliation and ideology, and fragmentation of opposition and government parties in the legislature, among others. The current version of the database, which is now hosted at the IDB, expands its coverage to about 180 countries for 40 years, 1975–2015. Researchers at the World Bank Development Research Group first compiled the database in 2000 (see citation information below). It has become one of the most cited databases in comparative political economy and comparative political institutions. Almost 3000 studies have used this database so far as a source of institutional and political data in their empirical analysis. <br><br><b>Click here to access the data: https://mydata.iadb.org/idb/dataset/ngy5-9h9d/</b></br></br>

Measuring Quality and Characterizing Cuna Mas Home Visits
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2023-12-07T20:20:44.000ZThis dataset contains information on Programa Nacional Cuna Más (Cuna Mas, hereinafter), Peru’s largest early childhood development program established in 2012. It focuses on one of the two services provided by Cuna Mas known as Servicio de Acompanamiento a Familias (SAF), a home visiting program that operates in rural areas and provides one-hour weekly home visits to children aged 0-36 months and their caregiver. The objective of the study was to compare different instruments to measure the quality of home visiting programs. Between August and October 2015, three instruments were administered to a sample of 554 children enrolled in Cuna Mas and receiving home visits at the time of data collection, and on their 176 home visitors who regularly work with 80 supervisors. The following quality instruments were administered: • Home Visit Rating Scale, version A+2 (HOVRS; Roggman et al. 2010) • Home Visit Content and Characteristics Form (HVCCF; Boller et al. 2009) • A supervisor checklist The first two quality instruments are widely used among home visiting services in the United States. For each child in the sample, one home visit was filmed and the videos were later coded to create the scores, following the instruments’ manuals. The checklist, on the other hand, was designed based on record forms used by Cuna Mas and other home visiting programs in low- and middle- income countries, and was administered live during the visit by the home visitor’s supervisor. The final, multilevel dataset includes: • 554 visits with an identical number of distinct children • 176 home visitors • 80 supervisors • Methodology available at: <a href="https://idbg.sharepoint.com/teams/EZ-RG-ESW/RG-K1423/25%20Results%20Management/Publicaciones%20-%20Base%20de%20Datos/measuring-quality-and-characterizing-cuna-mas-home-visits.pdf">https://idbg.sharepoint.com/teams/EZ-RG-ESW/RG-K1423/25%20Results%20Management/Publicaciones%20-%20Base%20de%20Datos/measuring-quality-and-characterizing-cuna-mas-home-visits.pdf</a>

2009-2014 InfraScope Index for Latin America and the Caribbean
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2024-02-14T21:25:46.000ZThis benchmarking index is a learning tool that evaluates the legal, regulatory and operating environments for Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in transport, water/sanitation and electricity infrastructure for 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries. The analysis and scores in the model provide a comparable assessment of individual countries' readiness and facility for PPP project design and implementation. For the purpose of this index, PPP refers specifically to projects which involve a long-term contract between a public-sector body and a private-sector entity for the design, construction (or upgrading), operation and maintenance of public infrastructure; with finance usually provided by, and significant construction, operation and maintenance risks transferred to, the private-sector, which also bears either availability or demand risk; but with the public sector remaining responsible for policy oversight and regulation; and the infrastructure generally reverting to public-sector control at the end of the contract term.

Summary indicators of Employment protection Legislation (EPL) in Latin America and the Caribbean
mydata.iadb.org | Last Updated 2024-02-15T21:36:21.000ZThe OECD/IDB indicators of employment protection legislation measure the procedures and costs involved in dismissing individuals or groups of workers and the procedures involved in hiring workers on fixed-term or temporary work agency contracts. The indicators have been compiled using IDB and OECD own reading of statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. The OECD Secretariat and the IDB equally share the responsibility of the interpretation of LAC countries’ statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. This data base constitutes the first systematic approach to review and compare employment protection regulations in LAC, in a way that is also comparable with countries around the world. <br><br><b>Click here to access the data: https://mydata.iadb.org/d/fzc8-jx54</b></br></br>
