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.
我们开发了一个独特的全球数据集,供多学科受众使用,该数据集记录了 COVID-19 大流行期间政治行为体的行为,这些行为体通过保护公众的政策制定努力来衡量。该数据集以一致的方式对各国政府在保护公众的公共卫生政策方面的日常严格程度进行跨国、国家以下各级别的编码,包括政府整体和特定政策类别的数据,以及报告采取这些政策的政府部门。这些保护行为的公共授权数据是从媒体公告和政府出版物中收集的。该数据集允许对世界各地政府的政策努力和时机进行比较,并可作为有关大流行结果(包括社会和可能的医疗)的政策决定因素的信息来源。
