Dataset with survey-based indicators of economic dependence on sources of state income (such as salaries, pensions, CCTs) and indicators of postive attitudes towards political authorities (plus three indices of Pro-Authority Attitudes constructed by the author, and used as dependent variables in the analysis) for 26,676 citizens of 18 Latin American. Individual-level data come from the 2016-7 waves of the AmericasBarometer by the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), see www.vanderbilt.edu/lapop/about-americasbarometer.php. The dataset also contains three country level-variables: Democracy (\"democracy\") is the Liberal Democracy Index (model estimates) from the Varieties of Democracy project (www.v-dem.net/data/the-v-dem-dataset); Government effectiveness (\"gov_effect\") comes from the World Bank's Worlwide Governance Indicators (databank.worldbank.org/source/worldwide-governance-indicators); Economic freedom (\"efi_index_01\") is the Heritage Foundation's Economic Freedom Index (rescaled 0 to 1; www.heritage.org/index/about).
