Datasets
Compiled Democracy Index
I’ve been working on an open-source dataset that compiles data from four democracy indices: Freedom House, Varieties of Democracy, the Polity Project, and the Economist Intelligence Unit. I’ve put the links below, but here’s some general info on the project:
Version 1.0
Over 14,000 observations covering over 200 countries and territories from 1940-2025
Raw data from all four datasets is scraped and complied here
Data is also standardized into a 0-10 scale
Z-scores are provided for empirical testing
