Abstract

Combined dataset on malfeasance, preference votes of DC and PSI candidates, government portfolios, and all seated deputies (merges the three datasets above and incorporates full universe of deputies). The combined dataset contains all the information enumerated above, and also includes records for all deputies not otherwise includes, as well as the number of preference votes received by deputies affiliated with parties other than the DC and the PSI.

Note: This combined dataset is complex because the same individual may appear multiple times even within the same legislature, for different reasons. The dataset on malfeasance contains a separate observation for each individual charge of malfeasance, so that deputies who are charged multiple times (either within the same legislative period or in different legislatures) appear as multiple separate observations. In the dataset on preference votes, the same candidate may appear more than once, if s/he stands for election in multiple districts and/or legislatures. The same is true, finally, for the dataset of government portfolios, because multiple governments were seated within a single legislature. Therefore, the same minister may appear more than once within a legislature if s/he held office in multiple governments.

The component datasets were combined under the supervision of the P.I. on the basis of a unique identifier ("tid") assigned to each individual person/deputy/minister. This allows the researcher to track individual deputies over different legislatures, as well as to track whether the same deputy was charged multiple times with malfeasance or served in multiple governments.
