48 Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) Countries Datasets on ICT diffusion, trade liberalization and inclusive growth

The data covers 48 SSA countries from 2005 to 2020, focusing on the relationship between ICT, trade openness, and inclusive growth. ICT and inclusive growth are measured by composite indices using PCA analysis, while trade openness is measured by net foreign trade in goods and services. The data also includes control variables such as FDI, inflation, employment vulnerability, and social protection, which are derived from the World Bank database.

本数据集涵盖了2005年至2020年间48个南共体国家，专注于信息通信技术（ICT）、贸易开放度与包容性增长之间的关系。信息通信技术与包容性增长通过主成分分析（PCA）构建的综合指数进行衡量，而贸易开放度则通过商品和服务净外国贸易额进行评估。此外，数据集还包括了来自世界银行数据库的控制变量，如外商直接投资（FDI）、通货膨胀率、就业脆弱性以及社会保障等。
