Description
Summary:We have developed and made accessible for multidisciplinary audience a unique global dataset of the behavior of political actors during the COVID-19 pandemic as measured by their policy-making efforts to protect their publics. The dataset presents consistently coded cross-national data at subnational and national levels on the daily level of stringency of public health policies by level of government overall and within specific policy categories, and reports branches of government that adopted these policies. The data on these public mandates of protective behaviors is collected from media announcements and government publications. The dataset allows comparisons of governments’ policy efforts and timing across the world and can serve as a source of information on policy determinants of pandemic outcomes–both societal and possibly medical. Measurement(s) institutions, levels of government, dates and stringency of COVID-19 public health policy announcements Technology Type(s) content search of media and governement sources, expert coding and classification Factor Type(s) government office • government level • time in the pandemic • country • region Sample Characteristic - Organism government-announced COVID-19 public health policies Sample Characteristic - Environment regions, also aggregated to countries Sample Characteristic - Location global
