<p>Main data files comprise 22 variables in three subcategories of risk (political, financial, and economic) for 146 countries for 1984-2021. Data are annual averages of the components of the ICRG Risk Ratings (Tables 3B, 4B, and 5B) published in the International Country Risk Guide. Indices include: political: government stability, socioeconomic conditions, investment profile, internal conflict, external conflict, corruption, military in politics, religion in politics, law and order, ethnic tensions, democratic accountability, and bureaucratic quality; financial: foreign debt, exchange rate stability, debt service, current account, international liquidity; and economic: inflation, GDP per head, GDP growth, budget balance, current account as % of GDP. </p> <p> Table 2B provides annual averages of the composite risk rating.</p> <p> Table 3Ba provides historical political risk subcomponents on a monthly basis from May 2001-February 2022. </p> <p>Also includes the IRIS-3 dataset by Steve Knack and Philip Keefer, which covers the period of 1982-1997 and computed scores for six additional political risk variables: corruption in government, rule of law, bureaucratic quality, ethnic tensions, repudiation of contracts by government, and risk of expropriation.</p> <p>Additional data files provide country risk ratings and databanks (economic and social indicators) for new emerging markets for 2000-2009.</p>
