Abstract
| |
We construct comprehensive and consistent datasets on telecommunications and electricity
regulations in developing countries through extensive surveys of regulators. The database of
telecommunications regulations includes 178 variables on regulatory governance and content in 45
countries. The database of electricity regulations includes 374 variables in 20 countries. This paper
motivates the data collection exercise, explains the survey design, and provides a few examples of
the types of information and results the data can yield. The appendix provides links to the freely
available datasets and codebooks.
Keywords: Telecommunications, Electricity, Regulations, Data
