Abstract

This paper describes WISER CD (Welfare Intervention by the State and Economic Resilience - Comprehensive Dataset) a cross-country panel dataset that includes relevant indicators for the analyses of the relationship between the welfare state and aggregate macroeconomic performance, highlighting human capital and inequality as the channels of transmission. WISER CD covers 36 OECD countries over the period 1980-2017 resulting in 1085 variables from primary sources and five constructed variables for the measurement of human capital. We gathered data from a range of primary data sources that were grouped in six relevant dimensions: economic growth; welfare state; human capital; inequality; control variables; government size and financing. Two additional datasets were generated with no missing values, although at the cost of a shorter time coverage and more limited cross-country availability. The former broaden the options faced by researchers in terms of econometric methodologies (and others) for the investigation of the relationship under analysis.
