Data for: Encouraging Skill Development: Evidence from Public-Private Partnerships in Education in Russia’s Regions

This is a replication dataset and code for the main analysis presented in the research article "Encouraging Skill Development: Evidence from Public-Private Partnerships in Education in Russia’s Regions" (see references). The dataset consists of original data on Vocational Education in Russia's regions, which was collected from the end-of-year performance reports of 1654 Russian secondary vocational education facilities for the academic year 2013-2014. Data on the nature of cooperation between each of the schools and their partner firms was extracted from the reports and coded to generate variables that measure the number of complex forms of partnership and the share of schools using these forms. Further details and more context about the data can be found in the "Data and Empirical Strategy" section of the main text or on the corresponding author's website (israelmarques.com). The replication dataset also includes all independent variables of interest and control variables used in the analysis. Details of these additional data and their sources can be found in Appendix Table A1 of the main text's supplementary materials and in the "Data and Empirical Strategy" section of the main paper. Finally, we also include the code necessary to replicate the main results tables and those supplementary analysis in the appendix.
