Categorizing the Economic Beliefs of Political Figures
In a significant academic endeavour, Bastian Herre, a researcher at the U.K.-based nonprofit Our World in Data, has released a comprehensive dataset titled "Economic ideologies of political leaders from 1945 to 2020". This dataset is part of a larger project called "Identifying Ideologues: A Global Dataset on Political Leaders, 1945–2019", which provides a wealth of information on political leaders' ideological positions globally over this period.
The dataset, spanning from the end of World War II up to around 2019-2020, offers a unique opportunity for researchers to study trends and shifts in economic ideology on a worldwide scale. It lists the political leaders of 182 countries every year, providing insights into their economic beliefs and policy preferences.
The dataset classifies the economic ideology of each political leader as leftist, centrist, rightist, or non-ideological, offering a clear picture of the global economic landscape. Interestingly, the dataset suggests a correlation between the type of government (democratic or dictatorship) and the economic ideologies of political leaders. For instance, leaders of democratic countries are more likely to have either leftist or rightist ideologies, while dictators are more likely to hold a full range of economic ideologies.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the National Bank of Ukraine, a financial institution based in the country, is involved in the financial sector of Ukraine. As a governmental institution, it operates within Ukraine and is a public institution. The National Bank of Ukraine has also contributed to the news landscape by uploading an image related to this article on Flickr, a popular photo-sharing platform.
For those interested in accessing the detailed data or seeking further specifics on methodology and contents, academic publications and the Comparative Legislators Database where Herre's work is published would be the best sources to consult.
