Panel data on the impact of democracy and political stability on economic growth in the MENA region over the years 1983–2022

This panel dataset contains information collected from five distinct sources on the impact of democracy and political stability on economic growth in 15 emerging countries in the MENA region from 1983 to 2022. The dataset includes information about GDP per capita, inflation, trade, population growth, government expenditure, participatory democracy, deliberative democracy, egalitarian democracy, institutionalized autocracy, and political stability. Data analysis was carried out utilizing R statistical software to ensure the accuracy of the data by imputing missing data using the monotone REG approach, allowing future researchers to investigate the linkage between political factors and growth in various scenarios. Data are provided in two sheets, one containing the data before the missing value imputation and another after the monotone REG imputation. This dataset is a companion for an unpublished thesis titled “Democracy, Political Stability, and Economic Growth.”
