International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) Researchers Dataset

Main data files comprise 22 variables in three subcategories of risk (political, financial, and economic) for 146 countries for 1984-2021. Data are annual averages of the components of the ICRG Risk Ratings (Tables 3B, 4B, and 5B) published in the International Country Risk Guide. Indices include: political: government stability, socioeconomic conditions, investment profile, internal conflict, external conflict, corruption, military in politics, religion in politics, law and order, ethnic tensions, democratic accountability, and bureaucratic quality; financial: foreign debt, exchange rate stability, debt service, current account, international liquidity; and economic: inflation, GDP per head, GDP growth, budget balance, current account as % of GDP. Table 2B provides annual averages of the composite risk rating. Table 3Ba provides historical political risk subcomponents on a monthly basis from May 2001-February 2022. Also includes the IRIS-3 dataset by Steve Knack and Philip Keefer, which covers the period of 1982-1997 and computed scores for six additional political risk variables: corruption in government, rule of law, bureaucratic quality, ethnic tensions, repudiation of contracts by government, and risk of expropriation. Additional data files provide country risk ratings and databanks (economic and social indicators) for new emerging markets for 2000-2009.

本数据集的核心数据文件涵盖1984年至2021年间146个国家的三类风险维度（政治风险、金融风险与经济风险）下的22个变量。数据源自《国际国家风险指南》（International Country Risk Guide，ICRG）发布的ICRG风险评级分项（对应表格3B、4B与5B）的年度均值。具体分项指标包括：政治风险类含政府稳定性、社会经济状况、投资概况、内部冲突、外部冲突、腐败、军人干政、宗教政治化、法治与秩序、种族紧张关系、民主问责制及官僚机构质量；金融风险类含外债、汇率稳定性、偿债负担、经常账户、国际流动性；经济风险类含通货膨胀率、人均GDP、GDP增长率、预算收支差额、经常账户占GDP比重。表格2B展示了综合风险评级的年度均值。表格3Ba则提供了2001年5月至2022年2月的月度政治风险分项历史数据。此外，本数据集还包含史蒂夫·纳克（Steve Knack）与菲利普·基弗（Philip Keefer）编制的IRIS-3数据集，该数据集覆盖1982年至1997年时段，额外计算了6项政治风险变量的得分：政府腐败、法治水平、官僚机构质量、种族紧张关系、政府合同违约风险与征收风险。额外数据集文件则提供了2000年至2009年间新兴市场的国家风险评级及经济、社会指标数据库。
