Panel Data on TFP and Labor Market Outcomes across Development Levels (2000-2023)

This dataset provides panel data for 115 countries spanning 2000-2023, constructed to analyze nonlinear relationships between total factor productivity (TFP) and labor market outcomes across different development levels. The dataset includes employment variables (vulnerable employment, unemployment, employees, agricultural employment, industrial employment, and services employment), productivity measures (TFP at PPP relative to the U.S. frontier), and control variables (human capital, capital stock, GDP growth, inflation, working-age population, labor regulation, dependency ratio, patents per million, and industrial intensity). Countries are classified into developing and developed economies based on World Bank income classifications. The data supports Panel Smooth Transition Regression (PSTR) and GMM-IV estimation methodologies. Outliers in employment variables have been winsorized at the 1st and 99th percentiles by country to preserve cross-country heterogeneity while mitigating measurement distortions.
