This data set is taken from Lipset (1959), as used by Rihoux and De Meur (2009), Cronqvist and Berg-Schlosser (2009) and Ragin (2009).
A data frame containing 18 rows and the following 6 columns:
DEV |
Level of development: it is the GDP per capita (USD) in the raw data, calibrated in the binary crisp version to 0 if below 550 USD and 1 otherwise. For the multi-value crisp version, two thresholds were used: 550 and 850 USD. | |||
URB |
Level of urbanization: percent of the population in towns with 20,000 or more inhabitants, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if below 50% and 1 if above. | |||
LIT |
Level of literacy: percent of the literate population, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if below 75% and 1 if above. | |||
IND |
Level of industrialization: percent of the industrial labor force, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if below 30% and 1 if above. | |||
STB |
Government stability: a political-institutional condition added to the previous four socioeconomic ones. The raw data has the number of cabinets which governed in the period under study, calibrated in the crisp versions to 0 if 10 or above and 1 if below 10. | |||
SURV |
Outcome: survival of democracy during the inter-war period, calibrated to 0 if negative, and 1 if positive raw data. |
There are four different versions of the Lipset data:
LR |
contains the raw data | |||
LC |
is the same data calibrated to binary crisp sets | |||
LM |
calibrated to multi-value sets | |||
LF |
calibrated to fuzzy-sets |
