Lex-Atlas:Covid-19 Emergency Powers Dataset

Data on the use of emergency powers used to handle the Covid-19 pandemic mined from country reports published by the Lex-Atlas: Covid-19 project and the Oxford University Press. For more information see https://lexatlas-c19.org. 

The coding proceeded in two phases. A first phase was conducted between 2020 and 2023 on a set of 38 reports (37 Countries plus the European Union) that were produced in the initial stages of the project. A second phase was conducted in 2024, on an additional set of 13 reports that were published in the meantime. Both datasets were published but the final ones supecede the earlier ones and have made some amendments to previous codings.
