Taiwan Politician Career Transitions

Description

Taiwan Politician Career Transtitions is a curated dataset extracted from the Taiwan Politics Database.

The dataset groups resume items for each politician and pairs each sequential pair of career events side-by-side. This dataset is especially useful for constructing career-related covariates such as:

• indicators of whether a party or legislative leader ever ran or won elected office
• counts of how many times a politician ran for an office before winning
• counts of how many times a politician ran or won a particular type of office

Resume and Career Transition data is also useful for:

• constructing Markov transition matrices
• constructing career sequences which can be clustered to identify types of political careers

Future additions to the Taiwan Politics Database will be added to the Resumes and Career Transitions datasets and will exponentially increase the combinations of political career data we are able to examine.

Data Access and Sharing Policy

Datasets used in published research articles are typically uploaded to Harvard Dataverse or other public data repositories. Links to these datasets may be found in post of each published article.

The Taiwan Politics Integrated Database and associated curated datasets are not currently available for public download. The Organization of Power Lab is cleaning, validating, and curating these data before making them publicly available.
