Replication Data for “Crisis-Induced Corruption and Citizens’ Evaluations of Government COVID-19 Response in Africa: The Moderating Role of Corruption Control”

This dataset and replication package provide the materials necessary to reproduce the empirical analyses reported in the article “Crisis-Induced Corruption and Citizens’ Evaluations of Government COVID-19 Response in Africa: The Moderating Role of Corruption Control,”. The article examines how perceptions of crisis-induced corruption during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced citizens’ evaluations of government performance across 39 African countries. The dataset combines individual-level data from Afrobarometer Round 9 (2023) with country-level indicators from the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators (Control of Corruption) and the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Liberal Democracy Index, analysed using mixed-effects linear regression models in Stata 19.5. The replication archive includes the cleaned dataset used for all analyses, two CSV files documenting the macro-level data sources, and Stata scripts that reproduce the regression models (Table 1) and figures (4–7) presented in the published article.
