Panel_democ_stability_growth_MENA_Over_1983_2022

This panel dataset presents information on the impact of democracy and political stability on economic growth in 15 MENA countries for the period 1983-2022. The data are collected from five different sources; the World Bank Development Indicators (WDI), the World Bank Governance Indicators (WGI), the Penn World Table (PWT), Polity5 from the Integrated Network for Societal Conflict Research (INSCR), and the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem). The dataset includes ten variables related to economic growth, democracy, and political stability. Data analysis was performed using statistical methods such as R in order to ensure data reliability through imputing missing data; hence, enabling future researchers to explore the impact of political factors on growth in various contexts. The data are presented in two sheets, before and after the imputation for missing values. The potential reuse of this dataset lies in the ability to examine the impact of different political factors on economic growth in the region.
