Unifid Democracy Scores (UDS)

DOI

The UDS are estimated using a Bayesian statistical measurement model and, therefore, can be used to make probabilistic statements about other useful quantities, such as the difference in democracy levels between two countries in a given year.

Please consult the working paper for a description of the data and sources.
